Motivation is an immensely important aspect in our lives. All your results and actions depend on it. Where there is no will there is no way as they say. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to find effective ways to transfer it to other people and benefit from it's purpose as much as you can in your own personal life as well. It really is the reason to ''get things done'', and it's a sort of the energy fuel behind your desires, needs, intentions and goals. It is what starts the engine of your car so to speak, that allows you to get more inspired.
There are many different ways to get motivated : watching a movie, or a video, or perhaps read or listen to inspirational quotes, that are of course ALIGNED with your own goals and desires...this is important. Motivation is the fire, the excitement and the feeling that allows you to keep going and face your daily challenges in the best way possible. An effective strategy that I found useful is to do a little bit of mind training. You can start playing the movie or the song in your mind and remember the feelings that made you more motivated and excited. This allows you to internalize those emotions and thoughts without being too dependent on external stimulation. One of the most important things is to have people around you that support your vision and your overall goals. These type of people give you the support and necessary courage to bring your goals into realization. They furthermore, act as reminders which is indeed important especially with all the distraction and perhaps ''noise'' that are present in our day to day activities. Another important thing to understand is that human beings are habitual creatures. We act and behave because of our own habits. For example make it a habit to spend your time on certain activities that boost your confidence, instead of spending your time mindlessly watching television or surfing through the net for example. All these wonderful tools and technologies are available now. Action is a necessity to change your habits
I have found that intrinsic rewards often last longer than extrinsic ones, since both of these types are related to motivation. This usually might happen because the intrinsic rewards are connected with your values. Whatever you connect to a deeper level...you keep going. the engine is still running, even if some of the odds are against you in your life circumstances. That it not to say that extrinsic rewards aren't important....they are. They allow you to find justification for your choices and give you the necessary feedback.
Motivation is the Alpha...the beginning...the why's and how's... the force that stirs and fans the fire.
