What Keeps You Motivated to Move Forward?
Motivation to move ahead comes from within you.
You control your decisions
I laugh when someone says the devil made me do it, because all that means is they refuse to take responsibility for their actions.
When children are becoming teenagers and young adults they start taking on decision making. Sometimes they make good choice and sometimes they make bad choices. It's easy to want to blame an outside source for your decisions, but learning to accept the choices you make are the beginnings of learning to take responsibility for your actions and growing up.
Once you change your perception, then it's a matter of learning how to use those decision making skills to motivate yourself to learn how to take yourself from where you are now to where you want to be.
Find a mentor or someone you feel you can learn from that can help you along the road towards your goals!

Thanks for the inspiring messages!!
My motivation is my desire to earn extra money so I can spend more time with my family. Kids grow up so fast. I am tired of saying I can't do this or can't do that because I can't take off time from work.

I think it can be hard to figure out the passionate reason behind why one wants to do or accomplish something. However, "the fact that you aren't where you want to be, should be enough motivation" is a simple enough, clear reason.
Yes, adults have accountability in a way young children cannot because adults can utilize and take control of their minds more (unless they're plagued by severe mental illness).
mental illness is a hidden disability and does affect someone's ability to reason or truly understand what is happening around them, but with the proper medication can function normally
Yes, medication if it's an organic mental illness. However, I believe some if not most mental illness isn't organic or in the brain.
There's a YouTube channel called Gerlach and a website that agrees with this, that most mental illness isn't organic in origin: http://sfhelp.org/site/intro.htm
Not sure if you'd agree with that?
Anyway, yes, it's great that as humans, we have free will generally.
