Motivation

              *MOTIVATION*

"an incentive or reason for doing something"

The reason behind what we do and how we do it is motivation. Your level of excitement, passion, interest and commitment to a task, goal, job or project is fuelled by your motivation. Motivation can be Extrinsic (bases on a reward or to avoid a punishment) or Intrinsic (bases on a personal decision, reward or feeling of fulfillment)
The two kinds of motivation have their rightful place and cannot be substituted for another in appropriate situations. However, there is a lesson to learn.

 There is a level external motivation will take you and won't go further. If all the reasons you have for pursuing a goal or growing your idea or pursuing excellence in your academics or career are based on external motivation, you're not likely to reach the greatest height there is.
Ask yourself: why do I want to do this, why am I studying hard at school, why do I want to develop this idea, if all the external reward and present excitement I feel is taken away, will I still be willing to continue.

 The reason we must develop personal internal motivation and grow it from time to time is because, irrespective of how exciting and rewarding a task or project or idea looks at the beginning, there will be times when we will feel like giving up. Usually, the excitement we have at the beginning of the task doesn't naturally follow through. We will loose our energy and excitement and feel like giving up because challenges and set back can be overwhelming. At such moments, it is our ability to speak to ourselves, re-energize and motivate ourselves, regenerate our excitement and passion that will keep us persistent.

Where external motivation fails, personal motivation and commitment will keep you going.

What are you feeding on?

In life, growth is very important, and to grow the body needs some basic nutrient. The kind of nutrition or malnutrition the body undergoes will determine the kind of growth you will have. For many reasons people decide on different diet plans, keto, vegan, paleo, gluten-free diet just to name a few. These diets work the wonders they are designed to work. In the same way, whatever we ingest will determine what our output will be. Most times we are the product of what we take in. like someone on a diet who is cautious about their weight and eager to maintain a good shape, the result you will produce depends on what you feed on. As you are already guessing I'm not talking about the literal food we eat. What are you listening to? What kind of books do you read? What movies, TV shows, and series are you watching? Are they adding value to you or taking value away from you? Pause! Ask yourself this question again and answer sincerely, what are you feeding on? What you consistently feed o...

Rethink your circle

Who are those in your circle? What type of friends do you keep?  There's a saying that goes thus "the average of 5 people you walk with sums up your life" we could agree to disagree on this, your choice! but it still remains true. Interestingly sometimes you have a little setback or challenge and you are scared to share with your friends!! does that even make sense?  You be thinking in your head, If I tell them they will laugh and make jest of me  and they will not even take it serious no matter what.  What kind of a circle is that? Friends who can't relate with your situation, who can't understand and sympathize with you in whatever situation you are in, they are not friends at all, they don't merit that title.   You need to redefine what friendship is. There are people you talk to they don't necessarily have to be your friends. And then you have the true people who actually care who you can call friends. Most times you get it all wrong assuming because y...
