GENRES OF MOTIVATION

 As we already spoke motivation can be by internal as well as external means.Let's explore these aspects.

INTERNAL MOTIVATION

There is this beautiful story to help us realise the power of internal motivation.

There was a young boy who constantly came for soccer practice but never made it to starting team.While he was practicing,his father would sit at the far end of the field waiting for him.The matches began and for 4 days the boy was nowhere to be seen.The boy came on the day of the final match and pleaded the coach to let him play the match.But the coach was hesistant as the the school's reputation was at stake at that point in the game.Still going against his own judgement,the coach allowed the boy to play in the match.

The game started  and the boy played like a house on fire and the school won the game.The coach was left amazed at the performance of the boy.He went up to the boy post the game and asked him,"How did i go wrong in judging you?You never played so well.What happened and how did you do that?"

The boy replied,"Coach,my dad is watching me today." The coach turned but couldnot find his dad there.The coach said,"Iam not able to see your dad there dear." The boy's reply left the coach in silence.The boy said,"Coach,there is something i never told you.My dad was blind.He died 4 days ago and today is the first day he is watching me from above."

Friends this is the power of motivation.

Internal motivation comes from our belief system.This is again linked to our attitude.Some ways of self motivations are

1.Autosuggestions,boardmarks-these are some positive statements that we must keep repeating to ourselves. It is just a positive self talk.Its like we say life is easy and it actually seems easier.

EXTERNAL MOTIVATION

External motivation would include appreciation,recognition,money rewards,fame.But then what works for an individual is to be identified by the person himself/herself.There is no thumb rule or generalisation for  the same.

What we need to achieve in life is self-motivation(i.e)when we do things for our own reasons and not others.This motivation is long lasting.Always remember that our greatest motivation is OUR belief.We have to inculcate the belief that we are responsible for our actions because the hat of responsibility brings with it a greater sense of productivity,quality and satisfaction in life.So let the trigger in us bring about that spark and give us the energy to fulfil our dreams.

MOTIVATION-THE TRIGGER

                                           MOTIVATION

Hello everyone!!

It's been long time.So we move on to the next attribute that is MOTIVATION...

There are mostly two kinds of people in the world.

a)Most people are good,but can do better.

b)Most people already know how to improve,but aren't doing it.

This much required missing spark is                                                MOTIVATION!!

But then a logical question that arises(i.e)what is motivation??

According to me,it is the inner trigger that has the power and energy that you require to reach your goal.It is motivation=motive+action.

It is the force that keeps us going on inspite of the scrutiny in the world outside.

Its like

 "when the going gets tough,the tough gets going."

Motivation with the positive attitude can ignite the spark for action in us.Motivation comes from a desire to suceed.Once we understand what causes motivation in us,we can easily achieve our goals and infact motivate others too.

But then again motivation is of two kinds.

a)internal motivation

b)external motivation

Internal motivation comes from our belief system.This is again linked to our attitude.

Now which motivations work for a person depends on whether the individual is internally referenced or externaly referenced.

Ultimately what matters is that we should know what motivates us better.

In the next post we would be seeing what are different kinds of motivation and how can we identify our genre of motivation.

See you in the next post,till then stay motivated...

attitude-the foremost attribute of success

                                         ATTITUDE

To begin with let us quickly read through a short yet famous story.There was a man who made his living by selling baloons.He had baloons of different colours including red,yellow,blue,green etc..Whenever business was slow,he would release a helium filled baloon into the air.Seeing the baloon go up,children would come and buy the baloons and his sales would go up.He kept continuing this strategy.one day a small boy came to the salesman and asked,''if you released a black baloon,would that also fly?'' Moved by the boy's concern ,the man replied gently,''son it is not the color of the baloon,it is what's inside that makes it go up.''

The same principle applies to our lives also.It is what inside us that actually matters.And that 'something' which is inside us and makes us go up in life is our ATTITUDE.We always feel the grass is greener on the other side.But the fact is it's our perception and attitude which make us feel so.The foundation of success regardless of the field chosen is ATTITUDE.It applies to every sphere of life.If attitude is such a important factor,shouldn't we examine our attitude towards life?

Our attitude determines how we look at a setback.For a positive thinker it could be a stepping stone to success whereas for a negative thinker it could be a stumbling block.I beleive that every problem comes with an equal and greater opportunity.we just need to make the right decision at the right time.Factors that mould our attitude are 

1.Education

2.Experience

3.Ambience around us

We can develop a positive attitude by being optimistic,changing our perspective of looking at things,develop attitude of gratitude and by avoiding  procastination of things.Winners are always part of the solution while losers are part of the problemWinners make commitments while losers make promises.Winners say,''it's difficult but possible.'' while losers say,''it may be possible but it's difficult.''This certainly illustrates that our language has a direct influence on our ATTITUDE.so we need to work on the words we use to change our attitude.The choice of becoming winners is in our hands.We just have to choose to be so.Friends,

So think positive and stay positive.Have a great weekend.See you in the next blog.Thanks for the patient reading.
