Self motivation is an important skill. Self motivation drives you to keep going even in the place of set backs. It helps you take up opportunities and show commitment to what you aim to achieve.
The truth is, that not all the time you get external motivation. Like people being there for you to pat you on the back. Now let's delve into what motivation is.
What Is Motivation?
Motivation is what pushes you to achieve your goals, and to improve your overall qualities of life.
Everyone need to be motivated. Understanding and developing self motivation can actually help you take control of so many aspect of your life.
"Always be yourself and have faith in yourself. Do not go out and look for a successful personality and try to duplicate it." Bruce Lee. Below are four elements that made up motivation.
1. Personal Drive to achieve:
Personal Drive is a combination of desire and energy directed at achieving a goal in whatever you have set your heart to accomplish. It is the desire to improve or meet certain standard.
2. Commitment To Personal Goals:
Your goals can either be personal or organisational. Any personal change you would like to make will be a movement you will cease into. Commitment is one of the key factors for goal-success. If you’re not fully committed to a goal, you won’t work toward achieving. It really takes commitment to break barriers. It doesn't matter how, just take a step.
3. Optimism:
Starting with an optimistic attitude is a step to attaining your goals . Optimism gives you the ability to keep going and to pursue your goals in the face of set backs.
4. Initiative:
"There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened."– Mary Kay Ash, American businesswoman
"Initiative is doing the right thing without being told."– Victor Hugo, French writer
Initiative to achieve your set goals is the readiness to see opportunities and act on them. You don't need anybody to tell you when and how to go about your set goals. You ensure to make of every opportunity open to you.
