Default Re: Motivating yourself

I've always found I need some sort of nemesis or competition to get myself motivated for something. With poker, if I just don't give a [censored] about the people who are better than me/making more money, I'm not going to care about playing or getting better.

It boils down to: I need to care about beating someone to get better at something. I try to build up hatred towards people I regularly play with for this reason. Jealousy is a wonderful thing.
