What Motivates you to work hard??

I find this question to be very interesting and I want to explain why. If someone were to ask me this question, I would probably come up with some BS to tell them. What really motivates me to work hard is when I am not satisfied, or I'm mad at someone or something, or when something is bothering me. These are all the probably more negative things that motivate me. There are some positive things like, thinking about the results, or wanting to be better. For the most part though, the negative things are the real reasons that I am motivated to work hard. I feel like if I'm working to prove someone wrong, or to take my anger out about something, that is when I work the hardest. I think it is very interesting because when I think about it, there is "good" coming out of "bad". What I mean is, motivation to work hard is great and neccessary for success, but being mad at someone or using the things that bother you in your life to push you isn't always a great thing to have on your mind. So great things come from struggles in life and I believe that is why people go through struggles. If everything happened the way I wanted to all the time, I do not think I would have as much motivation as I have now. I just think its interesting where motivation really comes from. It might be different for you, but that is where I get my motivation from.
