Steemit Engagement Challenge (SEC)|S12W2-"SELF MOTIVATION"

SELF MOTIVATION

This saying is true, man is totally responsible for what happens to him in the course of his life here on earth. It's pertinent to know that no one can encourage you more than you do for yourself and that every determination is a product of self-motivation.

I define self-motivation as follows
Self-motivation; It is an absurd way of pushing oneself to achieve a goal that seems impossible due to series discouragement that can way down.

THINGS THAT MAKE PEOPLE LOSE THEIR MOTIVATION IN LIFE

There are a lot of factors that can hinder people from being motivated to become what they wish to become, the list is almost endless

WEAKNESSES; Individual have weaknesses which could be a factor that hinders motivation, for instant A boy who wants to become a lawyer but is a stammerer will never believe he can defend his client well in the courtroom because of his inability to quote laws ***, with this alone he might be discouraged by friends and even himself.

POVERTY; This is a very striking factor that hinders motivation. Nobody will ever believe the prophecy of being a great man if he/she is poverty-stricken, Poverty limits opportunity as many can never access life-changing opportunities simply because of lack of transport fare.

NEGATIVE SELF-TALK; Negative self-talk is another striking facet, individuals can never speak positively based on the situation on the ground.

DISCOURAGEMENT FROM OTHERS; Individuals are usually motivated in two ways "externally and internally", External encouragement from parents, gifts, and praises can boost motivation but when there is no way to be found an individual becomes unmotivated.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DISCOURAGED OR DEPRESSED BEFORE, HOW DO YOU HANDLE IT?

Yes, I have, severally, I have become discouraged in the aspect of choosing a better career choice, My friend will ask me if is this the only best career, and sometimes I will whisper to myself What if what they are saying is true, What if I am late for this, what if I don't pass to get there, these weighs me down and sometimes discourages me from reading.

IS SELF-MOTIVATION A GOOD PRACTICE? EXPLAIN

Self-motivation is a very good way of achieving desired goals, it gives you the ability to look beyond limitations, barriers and problems that can hinder one's success. Self-motivation enhances resilience, increases productivity and also brings satisfaction and wellbeing

ON STEEMIT WHAT BRINGS ABOUT SELF-MOTIVATION

With the numerous articles posted every day, one may never believe in excelling in Steemit his/her article being selected but self-motivation will make you keep trying till you reach your goal, Self-motivation has made me work hard on Steemit, learn from my mistakes and do the needful in other to be successful on the steemit community. Steemit has made me a night worker, I don't spend all night sleeping but I spend some in writing on Steemit as it is said "MOST GREAT MEN WORK MORE AT NIGHT"

In conclusion, "I would say that you can only lead a camel to the pool but never will you be able to force it to drink from the pool" Self-motivation is determination and only you can help yourself out.
