I was thinking about how hatred/anger is such an incredible motivator for me. (Cue the Carrie music...) But seriously, I can get so much done and do it so well if I'm picturing my success to be devastating to someone I dislike. And then when you do defeat whatever or whoever it is- it's such a major endorphin release. Not only is this a common feeling for the person experiencing the inspirational rage, but vicariously other people experience it. I feel good if I see someone really annoying get punched in the face or publicly humiliated.
Love and compassion, however, is usually just an annoyance. If someone asks me to do something because they care about me, it's usually offensive or comes across as patronizing. But if someone tells me I can't do something, I will do anything in my power to prove them wrong.
All that to say, I was a lot more productive and focused when I was bitter.
And since I almost ended on that note, but thought it seemed a bit Debby Downer, I guess I'll have to something that inspires me now:
I couldn't find a good video, but pretty much anything the Biscuit does.
