What's Your Motivation!!!

- What is Motivation?
- What Motivates you?
Is it food? Is it a car, a house, or a new cell phone? Is it a hobby you have or a goal you want to achieve? Really, tell me, WHAT MOTIVATES YOU!

Ask any person who is successful in whatever he or she is doing what motivates them, and probably the answer will be "My goals".

As cheap of an answer as that is, setting goals is a must if you want to acheive anything in life. The only people who can get through life without goals are those who win or steal money. Most likely you will not fall into this category so start thinking!!
What motivates you?

Why are you in school? Are you are in school because mommy and daddy want you to be. If your doing something you don't want to do, how the heck are you going to motivate yourself? Sure, I guess you can succeed with someone else providing the motivation for you.

"If you graduate from college, I'll give you a car!"
What is that? Really!!

If your motivations are not coming from within then you lost the game pal!
Really, it doesn't matter how smart you are or what computers or gadgets you have to use, if nothing is motivating you, you won't use those smarts, the computer, or the gadgets to acheive anything!
Think about this analogy.
You have a car with a full tank of gas, a well-tuned engine, good set of tires, quadraphonic CD system, and a sleek, polished exterior. Aren't you flippin cool!
And it's sitting there. Just sitting there gathering dust! Did I mention this car has incredible potential.("You have such potential!" I'm sure you've heard that before?)
The thing is, until a driver sits behind the wheel, puts the key in the ignition, and cranks it up, the car doesn't mean squat!!
To get corny on you, the KEY is the MOTIVATION. (It sounds so cute, doesn't it?)

Where do you find motivation?

C'Mon!! It's easy!
What interests you!
As much as you might not want to admit it, You like to learn!! It's natural to want to learn! You can't get around it!
When you put your interests and your want to learn together in a mixing bowl, you mix up a nice batch of SUCCESS.
And guess what, once you start becoming successful it's like a drug, and you become addicted to it! More succes and more success and more success!!

So, be honest with yourself! Do you REALLY want to be in school? Are you setting goals for yourself? When it comes to motivation, it isn't KNOWING, it is DOING.
