A Little Bit Of Motivation Can Go A Long Way For Better

Motivation helps initiates, guides, and maintains goal-oriented behaviors in us. Motivation constituted of the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that stimulate behavior. motivation comes in as that inner drive that force us to do something. Psychologists have proposed different theories of motivation co-exist such as drive theory(merida-brave), instinct theory(the blue fairy), and humanistic theory. now a little motivation can go along way base on my choice of motivation is:

Extrinsic motivation: The blue fairy

This is motivation base on external reward such as winning trophies, passing exams etc. When I was in my undergraduate years in school, I was a brilliant student, but then I have to meet a student repeating the class. This my friend had some disabilities problems that has disturb him for a long time. He was repeating his class not because he was not intelligent but because he was suffering from a bit of deft syndrome and some mild complications. he could not hear too well and needed that everything be read to him at a paste. many Classmate and teachers simply thought he's unfixable but I came as the blue fairy.

I first I started by giving him lesson he was not able to catch up with during normal lessons, I had extra revision hours with him for further studies and lots more. little by little we became friends and behold I was his first friend in class for the first time ever since he started his undergraduate program. We study as a team and I was shock to see that he validate all his end of year course and we were both promoted.

What a joy that felt. He was so happy that since that time 3 days could not pass without him calling me to check on me. Read more on prosocial behaviour in this book by carol sansone . so we see that He had the knowledge but needed I little push which I gave him. and finally my little motivation got a long way to change his studies for good. since then he's much more of an active student than before and even hell as the best computer science student.

Intrinsic motivation

This type of motivation is based on discovering your self and wealth. finding solution to your own problem is a habit of intrinsic motivation. Merida was a brave young woman who believe in her potential and despite the way people see her, non of that matters to her. she kept believing and even state her own destiny lies within her. Brave is all we need to keep going forward. sometimes we get scared along the way that we let go of somethings. I have been in the place of choice as well: either to embrace my fears and keep going or to stop and sit back.

But then there's this little Merida voice in my head always telling me to keep going even when I feel impossible. I study mechanical engineering and I won't lie it's not been an easy journey so far. many who took on the same dream as me have abandoned along the way.

There are days I feel challenge and down but I stay committed, brave enough to keep going. I didn't come this far far to stop and I am equally left with no choice but to keep going.

Motivation is the key rule to all human aspect. If you ever find the chance to motivate someone, do it without hesitation as the little help you are giving might mean the whole world to them. Again "Let your conscience be your guide". Do the right thing at the right time, Listen to yourself And do exactly as it says . Your instincts knows way better than you do.

Tips To Stay Motivated

Motivation is not that easy to get by every one. Sometimes fear, doubts and ignorance push us out but even if you're feeling low on motivation, follow these steps that will keep you moving forward:

• Work on your confidence
• Reshape your goals to focus more on things that really matter to you
• If you're aiming at something that is just too big or overwhelming, split it up into smaller steps and try setting your sights on a step by step achievement till progress.
• Remind yourself of what you achieved in the past and where your current strengths lie
• If you find things you feel insecure about, work on making improvements in those areas so as to feel more skilled and capable in the areas.

CONCLUSION

Getting to know about motivation is important in many areas of our lives, starting from parenting to the workplace. Do the things that pleases you, listen to other when you feel let down. Have an opened mind because one never knows, just a little motivation can go a long way to revolve that problem you have worried about for a long time. Thanks for reading my entry.
