I'm sure the word "Motivation" is not new to all of us. Motivation is a great tool that is needed for actions to be taken in order to see favourable results. Most of us use thus word everyday and most of us are being motivated to take action everyday. Motivation may mean different things to different people. According English dictionary, motivation is simply an incentive or reason for doing something. It is an act of being moved to take action especially in behaviour. Different things motivate people and I will be giving fee examples to buttress my point. To some people lavish and luxurious lifestyle of some celebrities and what they see online or television motivates them to work hard so they can be successful and have a taste of luxury lifestyle and most times they engage in illegal deals just to fast track their success. Some are motivated to be successful so they can help the less privilege and solve some of the problems the world is facing while most of us just want to enjoy a good life free of suffering. From the above examples, all are motivated to be rich and successful by different things.
Sometimes we may be in a situation which seems like there is no hope or all odds are against us, this is where motivation comes into play. We should always look towards brighter future in such situation. I he truth is this life is not bed of roses, we must encounter challenges. Most times I see and hear people criticise motivational speakers. Some say motivational speakers preach what they don't do. The truth is we are all humans and we make mistakes. People mistake should not be a reason why we should not take necessary actions that will make our lives better. Zig ziglar said " people often say that motivation doesn't last. Well.neither does bathing.... That's why we recommend it daily". We all need motivation in our lives and just as Ziglar said, we should be motivated daily. Many things can serve as source of motivation to different people. To some people it is lifestyle, Achievement in life, Character, our situation in life, music, kind gestures among many other things. At this point I would like to ask us a question.
What motivates you in life and do you see it as daily motivation?. I'm expecting your answers in the comments section.
What motivates me to work hard and still motivates me is the appetite to be successful and wealthy.am from Igbo tribe in Nigeria and other tribes see us as people who love money too much. Truth be told, we love money very well (lol) and can go extra mile to get it and that's one of many things that makes my tribe unique and successful. I classify my family into the middle class category because we cannot afford luxury lifestyle but we are comfortable. I'm the first son in my family and my Dad is late. I have seen poor people who struggles to feed and they are still struggling and how the society treats them badly because they are poor and this has been my greatest fear (been poor).
A stationary object need a push to be in motion. Motivations serves as that push for us to be in motion. So don't neglect the power of motivation and always put them in action.
