Whenever I compete in a contest, the image of this girl comes to my mind. Im just insanely in love with her. But I’m not sure if this is right or not since she already has a boyfriend. She’s just such a nice person, she is just amazing, I mean I don’t even now how to describe my feelings. Maybe I’m just a sucker for angels. Can someone give me some advice on what to do?
She gives me motivation to compete, to push myself to the extremes. What are you motivated by?
Doing my favorite combo seems to get me motivated every time
does this girl yoyo?
I am motivated… by new throws that feel amazing… and i just can’t stop throwing it 8)
No she doesn’t yoyo, but she supports me yoyoing(some girls think yoyoing is for dorks)
She does everything other than yoyoing. Hehe…
When i saw this the first girl who came to mind was Ann Connolly 
I yoyo with girls at my school cause they think it is cool
Fun.
there was once a girl that gave me motivation.
but now i give her alimony.
not really a fair trade, imho.

You must defeat all former world champions in a yoyo duel in order to “win” yoyoing. Doing such will grant you the unimaginable yoyo power to win her over. Then you must cast the yoyo used to “win” into the Mariana Trench so none other may access the power for all time. Doing so will grant you invincibility and immortality. Of course, this leads to it’s own problems; you must watch as yoyoing, your family, and the one you love ages without you, eventually to their death.
The only way you can be defeated, and thus be freed, is if another suitor does the same thing and eventually defeats you by beheading. The quickening will grant him your experiences and knowledge, thus becoming the new “winner”
Somehow.
I want this!!!
Every time a new thread starts, it’s starts out fine but it slowly turns off track.
Sometimes motivation shoots yourself in the foot. Just relax, be yourself, and hope for the best. If you mess up, just pretend it didn’t happen, yet learn from it, and move on.
There can be only one.
I’ve been married to my motivator for 20 years.
Wow, I wish I am as lucky as you.
Dude, you’ve been married to your wide for a longer period of time than my age( I’m only 16)
I’m self motivated. If I want to do something, then I’m going to go do it. Yoyo is one of those things where I really want to do it. Really starting this at nearly age 40, well, I am at a disadvantage over many of them “kids” on here. It’s not easy, but I want to do it, so I practice whenever I can, which sometimes may not be for days, but I do what I can when I can. This is also not coming easy to me, so it’s hard work. Clearly, I must really want to do this or there’s no reason for me to continue. I am quite pleased I can do Plastic Whip. I am looking forward to starting Rewind next week. I still need to smooth out The Matrix more and refine Plastic Whip.
I find the best motivation comes from within. You have to have that drive to want to do something if you really expect to be good at it. It’s why I excel at audio and computers and data comm, because I have that fire inside that pushes me to do good at it. Yoyo is just an example of using the motivation to overcome obstacles. The obstacle being that this is NOT easy for me at all. While the motto here is “Make the simple amazing”, well, let me assure you that it may be amazing, but it sure ain’t simple. That doesn’t mean the motto isn’t valid, because with work and practice, one can make the amazing appear simple, and hence, the motto becomes true.
That’s not to say that having other sources of motivation aren’t bad. Some of us need to augment our internal drive with some external encouragement. In my case, my wife hates that I do audio and things I’m a bigger dork for doing the yoyo and she only likes the computer and data comm stuff because it brings in the dollars(so does the audio work!). Whatever your motivating forces are, as long as it’s for the purposes of being constructive, useful or are positive, it’s good and beneficial.
A bit of advice though for all:
Life isn’t that long. Sure, 100 years may seem a long time, but in the bigger scheme of things, it’s a nanosecond of a nanosecond. We’re here and gone before the universe is even aware of our existence. While that may seem “heavy”, the point is that while sometimes we have to do things to earn money, we should spend as much of our spare time doing things we enjoy. Well, there are caveats to that, as these activities should be LEGAL and non-harmful, or at the very least, not harmful to others. With that in mind and taking into consideration this is a yoyo forum, if that means you want to play with a toy, then do it. The argument of “don’t you have something better to do” is always up for debate. But, there are worse things that can be done. There are certainly other things that can be done. Spend your spare time doing things you enjoy. Be happy. Hopefully happy people live longer.
this is one of the truest things ive ever heard and the deepest i must say a person with a mind set such as that can accomplish any thing and young kids out there take note and remmeber what was said cause it one of the truest statments out there so happy throwing keep it spinning free and stay motivated
ego is my motivation. I want to be able to tell myself that I did some cool things in my life.
This is really inspiring. Thank you for the advice. I will remember it for the rest of my life.
