What usually helps me is watching videos. Are you caught up on what the current world records are? Video links here.

Or another idea is that you could experiment with new methods.

However, you could restart cubing with the new Dayan VI when it is released.

You suck. Get faster.

If you do not feel motivated just quit.

Works wonders for me!

Learn a new trick to practice you didn't know before. Compete in unofficial competitions on the forum. Noticeable improvement is rewarding and the biggest reason why I enjoy cubing.

Motivation? No problem, go with the greats:

A creative man is motivated by the desire to cube, not by the desire to beat others.
Ayn Rand

If you're going through hell, keep cubing.
Winston Churchill

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to solve just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison

Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Cube! Cubing will delineate and define you.
Thomas Jefferson

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without going slow and looking ahead.
Helen Keller

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always cubing.
Thomas Jefferson

If you want to conquer the cube, don't sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
Dale Carnegie

Crave for a cube, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.
Swami Sivananda

What you solve today can improve all your tomorrows.
Ralph Marston

I cube, therefore I am.
Rene Descartes

I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I cube.

Motivation? No problem, go with the greats:

So awesome. Did you adapt those yourself?

 

[speedpicker]

Indeed. Just stuck "motivational quotes" into google, read some and stuck the word cube in a few where it seemed to fit. Thought it was funny, and possibly actually motivating.

Anyone want to pick this up and do some more?

 

[aznanimedude]

can you try to stop being so amazing?

hard to do but could you try?

You forgot the most important one:

"If at first you don't succeed, blind, blind again."
