What keeps you motivated?
Know the things that motivates you. By doing so, you’ll know when to use it. Here are the different factors that motivates a person:
Goal- With the desire to achieve a goal, an individual wishes to achieve objectives to attain it. To accomplish its goal is important for its own sake and not because of the things that come with it. More often, it is an individual’s burning desire towards a goal that keeps him motivated.
Compliment- a person gets motivated when being complimented for things that he has done or for his positive attitude. It keeps him inspired to continue the good deeds that he has done.
Competence- a person is well motivated to seek for job mastery and takes pride with his accomplishments. He gets better by learning from experience.
Power- having the drive to influence people and change situations keeps a person motivated. They are willing to take risks to create an impact.
Positive Thinking- it is a person’s attitude that sometimes keeps him motivated. They are those who think positive in their outlook in life. The way they feel about the future and how they react to things that happened. It is their self-confidence that motivates them to continue their struggle towards their goal.
Incentives- If some people are motivated with their desire to achieve their goal, some are motivated to win a goal for the reward that they may receive upon achieving it.
Fear- a person can be motivated because of fear. He may fear his superior, or fear for the punishment or consequence that he may get if he wouldn’t get his job done properly.
Each factor of motivation varies from different situations. Competence for example is more likely to happen in job situations. While an achievement motivation is more for a personal goal. So, what keeps you motivated?
