Personally I don't know exactly why I want to learn programming. I am doing it anyway but my views on life are very dull and bland, I don't have any real interests besides basic human survival instincts which I think are where all my motivations stems from.
I am a young adult now but as a kid I use to be inspired by and motivated by movies I watched and games I played on PC. For example, when I watched Man vs Wild I use to be inspired and motivated to go out into my backyard and act like Bear Grylls surviving in the wild because I had a big backyard and space to do so, when it came to being inspired by games I use to learn and practice parkour in real life when I played Assassins Creed 2 on PC and could control the character do cool tricks,
I actually did well for someone my age learning how to parkour by myself. Now as an adult I had to deal with real life issues, one of them is taking antipsychotics and it making me not motivated to do anything and relying on cigarettes to get my dopamine fix so I feel at least happy smoking as opposed to miserable trying to accomplish tasks without smoking. Being on antipsychotics and dealing with it alone (But with God also I believe because I am a Christian) has opened my eyes in a way to harsh but true reality in that you learn that no one can help you but yourself in this world and it just sucks when all these fantasy ideas you build up are not actually how the world functions.
I guess that is part of growing up into a man from a boy but at least as a kid I had motivation to do stuff and it was really fun being motivated by fear and imagination to do things, something I wish I could still do... Also it's like people expect much more from you being an adult and sometimes you can't deliver at that deadline they expect you too...
So maybe my question is more like, how do you find motivation to do stuff when you are in a bad mood and if one of those things is programming, how do you push through to keep learning when you feel down and out some days...
