THE CONCEPT OF SUCCESS - Get Motivated

Motivation is anything that gives an individual the reason, the boost and the confidence to pursue something to any level desirable to the individual in question based on his or her capabilities. In other words, motivation can be in a form of a statement, a situation or an event depending on the source of which it comes from. Motivation is an important recipe in a man’s life which cannot be ignored or substituted by another option. If you must accomplish your mission, if the world needs you for what you are, then you must get motivated.

The issue of motivation is very important to each and every individual who wants to achieve success in life. One does not decide to go to school, paint a picture and write a book, etc unless there is something pushing him or her.

“An engine will continue to run as long as there is something to power it”

 If you see someone doing something, then there is something somewhere that is pushing him and when that thing ceases to exist, then he has no reason to strive for greater heights. So therefore, there is the need to always make sure that you renew, update and rejuvenate your source of motivation so as to keep you on the run.

TYPES OF MOTIVATION

According to my own analysis on the issue of motivation, they can be grouped under five main headings depending on the source of which they come from. They are as follows;

1. Intra personal motivation; as the name speaks for itself, it is the type of motivation which is obtained or produced by the individual himself. It has to do with the individual understanding the situation in which one finds him or herself so as to boost or better still, motivate him to find a solution. This is the most important of all the types of motivation. It is a long term motivation which is derived from the individual and as a matter of fact, until the individual attains his ambition, this motivation will still live on. As it is said that; if you know the animal chasing you, you will know the speed at which you should run. You coming from a poor family is a classic example of an intrapersonal motivation.

2. Inter personal motivation; This is another type of motivation which is derived from individuals or role model to be precise as well as listening to motivational speeches by renown personalities and also words from the elderly. Basically, any form of encouragement that is obtained from an individual or people can be termed as inter personal.

3. Situational or Eventful Motivation; this has to do with the motivation obtained from situations and lifestyle of people who have made their own positive impact on the society, thus societal figures. It also has to do with the events that has or is pursued to be happening. For example; the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Bible and Quran motivates people to fight against same sex relationships.

       The rests are educational and religious motivation which is as a result of climbing higher the educational ladder and knowledge base of one’s religion respectively.

NB: It should be noted that all the other types of motivation apart from the interpersonal motivation are important, just that you can still get enough in life without them.
