Self motivation or external motivation

Happy New Week and Happy Palm Sunday to you all. It shall be a blessed week for us 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Do you respond to external motivation or are you self-motivated?

I like being motivated a lot, it keeps me going on and on, I can go out of my way if you can motivate me. I respond to external motivation. It is something I cherish a lot and If I find no one to motivate me, I can give self-motivation to myself.

Every day, I motivate myself by declaring positive quotes into my day before going out to work and also, when I return. I must not wait for external motivation.

What is Motivation? Motivation refers to a process of inducing and stimulating an individual to act in a certain manner.

There are diverse ways one can be motivated, it could be in the form of moral, emotional, financial, or spiritual. We can be motivated in our homes, offices, schools, places of work, and many others.

External motivation and self-motivation differ from person to person, individual to individual, bosses to subordinates, employers to employees, parents to their children, Religious leaders to their followers, and many others.
Motivation is a vital key to achieving personal and professional aspirations or goals.

People respond to motivation differently based on their personalities, predilection, and state of affairs. Some people are more receptive to external motivation, which originates from external factors such as recommendations, rewards, recognitions, or pressure from others. While Others are more self-motivated, driven by their internal desires, goals, ambitions, or values.

External motivation can be effective for achieving short-term goals. For example, an employee can be motivated by the desire to increase their productivity, which can lead them to work harder and perform better to their targets or goals. This could come in so many ways like promotion bonuses, recommendation letters, and so on.

Moreover, self-motivation plays a crucial role in long-term success and personal growth. It comes from within and is driven by internal factors such as passion, interest, curiosity, and personal goals. For instance, an entrepreneur starting a new business may be primarily self-motivated as they are driven by their vision, passion for their product or service, and desire for success.

However, most individuals have a blend of external and self-motivation. While external factors can provide inceptive heartening. Self-motivation is essential for sustained effort and overcoming stumbling blocks. Self-motivation can be developed through setting personal goals, finding a true passion, practicing self-discipline, and cultivating a broadening sensibility.

A word of THANK YOU can motivate me to go out of my way.
