Mine is definitely 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi, which is my go to song all the time. The words have a lot of meaning to me and I use these as a reminder in both personal and work which is to sieze the day and to put my own unique mark on the world.

I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd

You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud

It's my life, it's now or never, I ain't gonna live forever

I just want to live while I'm alive

Walking on Sunshine is my go to upbeat song.

It depends what level of motivation, and what I need to accomplish.

Mostly music with 160+ BPM.

There is a techno version of the kids cartoon Inspector Gadget theme song that came out in the late 90's early 2000's that is just insane; and by that I mean, Great if you really need to clean your house in a hurry!

Such a tough (but great) question! My music mood changes on a daily basis and honestly it is sort of a reflection of what's on my calendar. On a Monday like today, I've got some Bob Marley playing in the background, but if I were to choose ONE song that I would say motivates me the most my current answer would be "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor.

Don't really know why this one, but always get me ready to tackle anything. And they are finally coming to Omaha in May.

I second Back in Black by ACDC!! Great song, I feel the same way!!

At the moment I believe the `need of motivation is a reminder of trust; trust that there's this "God", "energy spirit", "universe" however you want to call IT, inside you that needs peace to help you learn and grow in life.

This song, Rema, Selena Gomez - Calm Down (Official Music Video) - YouTube although very commercial reminds me with good upbeat rhythm, I can even dance a bit to, that amongst any adversity or chaotic moment I may be experiencing, if I remain calm, I can listen to that being inside me to act, decide or wait in the best way to my knowledge.

When it comes to harnessing an unstoppable surge of motivation, there's one song that never fails to ignite my spirit and propel me towards my goals: "Unstoppable"! This powerhouse anthem by Sia is more than just a tune, it's a force of nature that surges through every fiber of my being.

From the very first beat, "Unstoppable" hooks you in with its electrifying energy, setting the stage for an epic journey of self-discovery.

So, if you ever find yourself in need of a soundtrack to accompany your journey to greatness, look no further than "Unstoppable".😉

You Make My Dreams Come True by Hall and Oates. Gets me moving and grooving every single time no matter how unmotivated or tired I am.

I have also used it many times to get people up and dancing at parties and weddings. Would highly recommend!

While I am loving all of the suggestions I am seeing here, being older I find it hard to fall in love with new bands/songs. However, this song and band was an instant connect with my soul! For me it is pure ear candy!

I've got two, and they are veryyyyyy different from the ones listed in this thread so far.

Pure/Honey by Beyonce, you can't tell me that beat doesn't make you want to MOVE.
successful by Ariana Grande, singing "I'm so successful" is a great way to accomplish something that makes you feel successful.

How obvious is my age 😅

Could not agree more with these picks from two of my faves! I got to see Queen B perform Pure/Honey live while wearing a fierce bee costume, it was a life highlight. 🐝

Rachel Belter · 03/27/24

Agree depends on the mood but right now it's - September by Earth, Wind and Fire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gs069dndIYk

So, maybe I am showing my age, but there's something really uplifting and energizing about John Mayer's "Only Heart." It just makes me get moving!
