Motivation
Motivation. What motivates a person? Try asking a successful person and the answer will surely be his goals. Goal setting is very important to motivation and success. So what motivates you to finish school? If it’s because that’s what your parents want, you will most likely find it hard to motivate yourself. It is really possible to have someone provide you your motivation. But motivation that comes from one’s self makes a difference. Receiving a car as a gift after graduation will most likely give you an inspiration to go to college and strive hard to finish it instead of your parents pushing you to just finish it.
Achieving your goals may require you some knowledge and skills. Some you may not know or acquire yet. If you are not well motivated, you will most likely quit trying. But if you are well-motivated, you may not notice but you have learned the necessary skills or knowledge for you to achieve your goals.
Sometimes, even if you know the necessary skills for your goals, it is not enough if you have not much interest. Interest plays an important role in motivating yourself and more importantly your desire over your goal. This two factor put together creates success. Your burning desire for your goal makes you think positive and believe in yourself that you can achieve your goal. Believing in yourself is very important for you not to lose your confidence. But when it comes to motivation, knowing is not enough but doing.
