Just think that if you've had a really s**t year then all subsequent years will be an improvement.
The thought that no matter how c**tlike people can be or how s**t things seem to turn out, as long as you do good s**t then s**t will work out. It's all about karma bro.
But as for motivation it can never be just one thing. If you've got a girl then that's normally the first priority, family next, then your home, and then whatever else after that.
Things that keep me going are my wife, my mam, our lass's parents, the dog, the house, the car, and Christmas.....I f**king love Christmas!
Do it nice or do it twice!
