Motivation is a powerful and complex force that causes you to act in the right direction with the external results and fruits in mind. Motives are desires that originate deep inside you and incentives from it propel you into action.
Sang H Kirn famous motivator in US has summarized some key ideas that are essential to understanding motivation:
Motivation is a force, positive or negative, that causes us to act.
Understanding the underlying motive behind the action is the key to motivating anyone, including yourself.
Every motive we have for action arises from a need and out of desire to satisfy it.
Motives come in many forms and change throughout our lives.
Motives can change during an activity.
To create a strong incentive, your reward for achieving a behaviour must be directly tied to the motive for action.
Motivation is often the result of social conditioning and experience.
Motivation is the act of encouraging someone to do something they need to do, but may not be able to initiate on their own. Manipulation is the act of deceiving someone into doing something they might not otherwise do,
Some more guidelines to motivate yourself:
Fix your goal but the road map i.e., the guidelines must be flexible.
Always set a deadline to finish any task.
Follow the principle of ‘Divide and Conquer’. Don’t look into the goal as one big one, but divide it into steps and accomplish it step by step.
Motivation to succeed is a more powerful tool than your knowledge or training.
World famous motivational writer Napoleon Hill said “The great master key is nothing more or less than the self discipline necessary to help you take full possession of your own mind. Remember, it is profoundly significant that the only thing over which you have complete control is your own mental attitude”.
You should have some fixed plan, if you don’t know where to go, how you will reach your destination.
According to Walt Disney of Disneyland fame “If you can dream it. You can do it”.
