Learning How Motivation Works Benefits You
Learning motivates work, it helps you to accept responsibility for your behaviour, for your actions and positive attitude. In reality motivation comes from a person's belief, which helps him/her to achieve his/her goal. Purpose,Desire,Direction and Dedication are the qualities necessary to experience real motivation.
People motivate themselves by understanding their needs and wants. It could be Tangible Gifts,Rewards or Intangible growth,Appreciation,Recognition and a lot more, as it varies from person to person. How does motivation work in your case? If you Understand how motivation works for you, then your Internal Motivation will drive you to achieve your goals and lead you toward success.
People motivate themselves by inculcating in themselves, the belief responsible for actions and behaviour and creating a vision that helps them to outweigh the challenges that might come before them and accept their responsibilities in life. Lack of motivation brings life to a standstill,failure or fear of failure demotivates people and their pattern of their everyday life.On the contrary a motivated person has a spark in his eyes, always looks for new challenges and ways he can improve himself.
It could be said that real motivation starts from within a person based on how there needs are being consistently met. Without going into a long drawn out explanation of Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs I will state some of the conclusions. The most basic of needs stated by Abraham Maslow was the need to survive. Until that need is consistently met the other needs for all practical purposes cease to exist. Once that need is met then the individual is now ready to fulfill the other needs that may exist for themselves. These can be readily determined by there own specific paradigm of life. A person's paradigm is just the LENSES they tend to consistently see life through. A set of beliefs that color there experience and interpretation of all that surrounds them. There is no real change until a person's paradigm changes. But the motivation to make a paradigm change leads us to the next section.
SELF MOTIVATION AND YOU

However,just by accepting the challenges to move forward, one can get motivated as he will have the will and commitment to be successful,Accepting the failures,learning it as a lesson in life,helps us to move on to the next stage of success.

A motivated individual understands his thoughts and emotions,learns how to nurture them into a positive outcome,that keeps them focused on the next goal instead of being Complacent.

If merely possessing a book will make you successful than librarians will be the most successful persons on this earth. Once you buy a book allot a particular time of the day for the study of the book, if you had studied the book for fifteen minutes than please over what you have studied for another fifteen minutes. Than make it a point that you are conscientiously putting into practice what you have learnt. No delays in putting into practice what you have learnt.
