I generally am more motivated to do for others than I am to do for myself. I feel more accountable with other people watching, as well as a constant need for validation.
In another sense, if someone is being pushed around I am definitely more inclined to help out. When it's happening to me, I tend to let it go. The only exception to this rule is sexual harassment. In that situation, I feel the need to act not only to prevent an escalation towards me, but also in the hope that my big ole can of crazy will make the violator think twice before they do it to someone else.
I love doing for others because few things give me joy like making someone happy. It's so hard to get motivated for my own benefit. The payoff just isn't that satisfying.
