Lacking Motivation

[Kmon]

It's crazy how the grass is always greener on the other side. Reading this I understand how a very close friend of mine almost hated playing online poker even though he was making an insane amount of money. No Challenge, no entertainment. It was like working at a meat packing plant or something.

I know I strive to become able to play in hshe, I have so many things I need to pay like mom's mortgage, get a new car, pay off student loans. But once I have all those things paid for by one means or another I don't know what else I would need, like get a super fancy car and another motorcycle, everything after is just gluttony.

Find some other things you enjoy in life and do them. You can't go wrong with traveling, trying a new sport. Anything to get your blood flowing. Gl I know if you put some time into it you will find some other things in life to take up your time and make poker a part of that so you can enjoy other things in your life.

All work and no play makes Jack a Dull boy

OP - I have a very similar problem as you do. I only play like 2 hours a day (and luckily that's plenty of money for me), but I do tons of other stuff that helps out.

I read tons of books, work out a lot, play some sports, have other hobbies, and go out a ton... I'm also trying to develop more skills so that I can one day build "empires" or some such stuff to do different things. I've found that working with some friends to build things from the ground up is much more fun and fulfilling than playing poker just to make money. Sorry for being so vague, but hopefully you get the idea. Good luck...
