What is your motivation to create something?

Question

Everyone can have a different motivation for creating something.

My personal motivation is very simple. It's a good feeling and a vision of freedom, associated with the freelance life.

My biggest fear is stagnation and me falling into a perfect box and living life that way. That fear helps me to work hard, do uncomfortable things and learn & grow from my mistakes.

Jason Jia · Answer

Overall, my motivation comes from the desire to push myself to be the best version of myself, to have more control over my life, and to take part in creating something new.

To be honest, working at a big corporation can sometimes have a stifling atmosphere, and I feel suffocated by the lack of freedom and creativity, and I see myself as a problem-solver. I want to challenge myself and test my skills to see what I am truly capable of.

Another motivation for me is the desire to change my social status through entrepreneurship. I want to be more financially secure and have more control over my own destiny.

Furthermore, I find that creating something requires a lot of trade-offs and compromises, and I enjoy being a part of the process of bringing a product to market. There is something very rewarding about the feeling of launching something I've worked hard on and seeing it come to life.

Creating a product that helps others is what motivates me. I created RECRD, a video platform that enables creators to earn up to 100% ad revenue. I want creators to be rewarded for all the hard work that goes into creating content! We're planning on launching RECRD soon, feel free to check out our upcoming product here: http://bit.ly/3hqnUqd, your support is always appreciated!

I agree strongly with the freedom, and feeling a vision when creating something. I think just being able to struggle and create something others will find valuable and useful is massive. Struggling but overcoming when creating something is why artists love making art, and why builders love building.

As for me, the best motivation it's a favorite work. When I started work at https://order-essay.org/ I finally felt myself in the right place. I enjoy combining work and hobbies. I always like writing, I even wrote a few poems. So, the answer is to do wherever you want to make yourself happy.
