Why motivation?

-

 


 “You don’t overcome challenges by making them smaller but by making yourself bigger.” – John C. Maxwell

Motivation might be extrinsic, whereby a person is inspired by outside forces—other people or events that transpire. Motivation can also be intrinsic, whereby the inspiration comes from within a person—the desire to improve at a certain activity. Intrinsic motivation tends to push people more forcefully, and the accomplishments are more fulfilling.According to Maslow, humans are inherently motivated to better themselves and move toward expressing their full potential—self-actualization—by progressively encountering and satisfying several levels of need from the most fundamental, such as for food and safety, to higher-order needs for love, belonging, and self-esteem.

Without motivation in life, it’s hard to strive for success and achieve internal happiness. How can you pass your exam if you aren’t motivated to study.

The first step to set specific, achievable objectives.Divide the overarching goal into a series of small, specific, measurable tasks. Small goals are easier to accomplish.Create a plan to accomplish each small goal. Everyone feels demotivated or devoid of willpower at times.

Where there’s no will, there’s no way. One of the best ways to improve your personal effectiveness is to master your motivation and find your drive.
