How do you stay motivated

Question

With a $500 bankroll and the realization that it will take forever to see any sizable gains. Sure there are aspirations to be a big time player betting $500 - $1000 per unit, but the reality is that will very likely never happen.

So at 1-5 % of a $500 bankroll ($5-$25) it becomes a bit of a bore really and not worth the aggravation. I play too many games, chase losses, and bet shit that is just on TV knowing it is bad practice.

If any of you bet meaningful amounts, does it get easier to maintain discipline and put in the work with higher valued plays?
