Probably to leave a mark on the world and to make life better for those I care about. To avoid poverty and lack of options. In addition to inspiration, managing one's emotions certainly can help. One thing I always tell myself is that if the current struggle doesn't work out, there are always family members whose basement I could live in. So a failure in one struggle is not an existential threat. That makes it less stressful to keep going. I also try to focus on doing one thing at a time and the physical actions required. Be in the moment and you are out of your head. Progress is taking one step at a time.
