SELF MOTIVATION TRIGGERS


DEFINITION


↣ Motivation is the word derived from the word ’motive’ which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is a set of reasons that determines one to engage in a particular behavior.

↣ Motivation is something that encourages action or feeling. By motivating, we mean to encourage and inspire. It is the process by which A person’s efforts are energized, directed, and sustained towards attaining a goal.

What is the need for Motivation?


↣ “Motivation is a fuel in us which needs to be ignited with sparks, without motivation the best powers of the mind remain in a deep sleep”.
Often, a person has the desire and ambition to get something done or achieve a certain goal but lacks the push, the initiative and the willingness to take action. This is due to a lack of motivation and inner drive.

↣ Motivation strengthens ambition, increases initiative and gives direction, courage, energy, and persistence to follow one’s goals. A motivated person takes action and does  whatever it needs to achieve his/her goals

↣ Motivation is like a driving force in our lives. It comes from our desire to get success. Without success there is little pride in life; no enjoyment or excitement at work and at home. So it is very important for everybody to get motivated in order to get excellent results because Motivation creates the desire in the person to perform better than others or to perform in the best way. As we know every person is different so the right motivator is needed to motivate him.
