How do you keep your motivation up?

I've been doing YouTube videos for a year now. One of many projects but the most successful in terms of my own personal motivation.

That said, after a full year I'm only sitting at 128 subscribers. I get critical accolades from the people who watch my videos, everything from compliments on my voice and content. Within about 7 days of joining a small gaming network (37K subscribers) I was already a director, and within 2 more weeks had a bi-weekly show on their main hub channel. All due to the perceived quality of videos.

I guess I'm just having a bit of a tricky time staying motivated. So how do you keep yourself motivated? Obviously I enjoy doing it, but that doesn't help get past being frequently told how much people like it but not seeing the metric results to back that up. Maybe my search rank just sucks, I don't know. lol
I am naturally always up and going.. Also I have 4 kids and 2 dogs and a wife so I am always on the go.
 
i make videos for fun, i love to review films and regardless of how much notice i get i'll keep going. the main motivation is that somewhere down the line i hope to make it big on youtube (and i've been at this game for almost 3 years! :P)
 
I'm always happy and motivated while making videos, it's the in between time of making videos that I start caring abhout whether people are watching or not, and what they think about them, and get kinda depressed that I don't have as many subs as I'd like, so I just jump back into making another video and I get lost in that process. i find it very full-filling. Just gotta keep busy!
