                                                MOTIVATION
     
                                    What Is Motivation Anyway

          "An individual can think positive thoughts all his/her life,
      read all the books or blogs on positive thinking, go to school to
           get all the degrees available, can have all the skills &         talents, have many contacts and abundant knowledge..... But will
         never become what God expects of him/her until he/she acts.
                                    And that require real motivation. "
                 
                                   Egwuyenga G. Eloho




      Motivation is a process that initiates, guides and maintain goal-oriented behaviour.  It is what causes you to act. In other words, it is the inner desire that keeps you always moving forward inspite of discouragement,  mistakes and setbacks. In everyday usage, the term, motivation is frequently used to describe why a person does something.
        It is the energy that pushes you towards action and achievements. Motivation has much to do with desire and ambition. Without them there is no motivation.
       Motivation becomes strong when you have a vision, a clear mental image of what we want to achieve and a strong desire to materialize it. It awakens and pushes you forward towards taking action and making the vision a reality.
        Motivation is one key to successful living. When there is no motivation,  you either get a mediocre result or no result at all. Whereas when there is motivation, you attain greater and better results and achievements. For instance, compare a student who lacks motivation and who hardly studies to a student who is highly motivated and who devotes many hours to his studies, you can bet for sure that they will get absolutely different grades.
        The process of motivation is a sigh of strong desire, energy and enthusiasm and the willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve what we set out to do. A motivated person takes positive, goal-oriented actions and will never back out even in the face of opposition and obstacles. Are You Motivated?
