Surprising places you found motivation

I haven't been as diligent about my fitness in the past 4-6 months like I used to be - I do trail bike about 45 miles in a weekend and I horseback ride 3 times or more a week... but I know I'm not as fit as I used to be.

So, after getting back on the bandwagon this week, tonight I decided to do an at-home body weight circuit. And it SUCKED. I was dripping sweat, breathing heavy, and was frustrated because I used to be able to do 30 minutes of Insanity and here I was wheezing my way through a freaking Pinterest workout.

But instead of getting frustrated like I used to and throwing in the towel or getting down on myself, I found a ton of motivation in my lack of strength/fitness - I want to get my strength back and be at that point again.

So, where's a surprising place you found motivation that maybe used to frustrate you or would cause someone else to throw in the towel?
