Like life lesson type things
ex. all icare is that you did your best
i would appreciate if the sayings were realistic and nothing like i love you, have a nice day, ect.

Have you ever asked yourself what motivation is? It could be defined as the driving force that leads to an action. There is probably no better definition. It is the encouraging feeling that helps you to work towards your goals. Some of us consciously work towards motivating the self towards working better, while others simply do this automatically.

Some of us make an effort to justify our existence while others do this subconsciously. All of us have different factors that motivate us, so we need to understand that our unique personalities require unique kinds of motivation. Some of the kinds of motivation are as follows:

A. Achievement motivation: All of us have an in built desire to achieve something in life, and what we feel we need to achieve is relative to who we are as persons. What is easy for one to achieve could be difficult to another, but achievement is rarely looked upon as a motivation factor. However, when you have this desire to achieve, and when you recognize it as a driving force, nothing is impossible once you put your mind to it.

B. Motivation from society: Some of us are motivated to do better in life simply because we want to move up the social ladder. Others may be motivated to do something so that they can remain in their peer group. School kids are often motivated to better at academics just so they do not lose their group of friends, out of the fear that they may be held back one year. This is a simple example of motivation from society.

C. Motivation from promised incentives: When you know that you are going to be rewarded for doing something right, you make sure you do it right. This is called incentive motivation. Companies throughout the world offer their employees rewards or bonuses for completing projects before the set deadline, and this encourages the workers to work harder towards the goal. This is an example of incentive motivation at work.

D. Motivation from fear: Companies often use fear of punishment to motivate their employees. This could be looked upon as the opposite of incentive motivation and companies often use both forms hand in hand. While you could be rewarded for doing something right, you could well be penalized for doing it wrong. This is not as negative as it may sound, and is an efficient way of keeping employees sharp, and on their toes.

E. Motivation for change: Some of us are motivated to work hard towards achieving our goals because we are not happy with our immediate surrounding, and would love to see a change here.

As must be evident by now, there are many kinds of motivation factors that you could use to bring about a positive change. What works best for you however, can only be decided by your own self.

In life, we always have inspirations. We get into bad places or we feel like failures and then we find inspirations that help us move on and up.

So who/what has been the inspiration in your life?

Austin R asked:


I have recently developed a liking for poetry. I love reading it, however I am never able to come up with a poem of my own. Or at least not one that sounds very good.

So where do you get your inspiration?

And maybe, is there any form of poetry (e.g. Villanelle, Haiku, Sonnet) that is more effective?

Any help is appreciated.

Do you know what determines your success? Why there are people who are so successful in their life, while there are also people who live a mediocre life? What are the differences that separate these two groups of people? So, if you want to achieve great success in your life, are you serious about it? Do you just talk about it and do nothing or you are willing to put in 100 percent commitment to make it come true?

Critical Success Factor 1 – Be Serious In Everything You Do

Therefore, the first critical success factor is this; you have to be serious in achieving success in your life. If you are not serious with it, you are never going to achieve it. Success is not something that will come by within a short period of time; you will never be rich or successful in just 24 hours. As the saying goes, “Rome was not built in a day”. So you will have to put in a lot of effort and time into it before you can see the result that you desire.

Now, if you are not serious in achieving success in your life, do you think that you can keep on taking action all the time without giving up? No, simply because when you are not serious, you will face a lot of obstacles in your journey. And if you cannot get rid of the obstacles, you will give up real soon. This is why you have to be serious in everything you do, especially in pursuing great success in your life. Learn this critical success factor now; be serious in everything you do. Even if you enjoy, enjoy it seriously.

Critical Success Factor 2 – Stay Away From Your Comfort Zone

I know a lot of people like to feel comfortable in their life. The thing is, when you are too comfortable, you will never achieve the success you desire. This is because success require hard work and you will have to take action to make it come true. Many people caught up in their comfort zone. They tell their friends that they want to be a millionaire; they want to be successful in their life. However, after a few minutes, they tend to forget about what they have said and they watch television instead of taking action to make their dreams come true.

Always remember this, if you are feeling comfortable with your life now, you will never be successful. You need to get out of your comfort zone in order to take the necessary action. The feeling of staying in your comfort zone is good, but it will never bring you anything you want in your life. If you want to stay the same old way and live the same old life, you can keep on staying in your comfort zone. But if you desire great success and want to make changes to your life, you will have to stay away from your comfort zone. You have to pay for what you want in your life. So stay away from your comfort zone, this is the second critical success factor, let’s continue to the third.

Critical Success Factor 3 – You Must Set Your Goals

Nothing is going to happen automatically in your life. Everything happens for a reason. Just like if you are reading this article right now, it is because you are looking for success related articles, and that is why you stumbled across this article. The same thing goes for success, it will not come automatically. You will not wake up the next day and found that you have $1 million in your bank; you will not wake up the next day and found that you have a BMW in your garage.

Things happen because of some reasons. So, you must set your goals in order to achieve great success in your life. If you are not designing your own road map, you will never reach your destination. This is why goal setting is so important in our life. When you don’t have a clear goal in your life, you will feel boring and you will feel that life has no purpose. All of these are because you don’t have a clear goal. The moment you know what you want in your life, you will tell yourself that you need to go on because there are things you need to get it done. Goals will give you focus and keep you in track. After all, every successful people set their goals, and if you want to be one of them, you have to follow their footsteps.

By following through these 3 critical success factors above, I believe that you can achieve anything you want in your life. Often, success is all about your mindset and habit. You were born the same like Albert Einstein, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc. What you are lacking, is the mindset and the habits of successful people.

Always remember these 3 critical success factor, they are the ones that will determine your future. So start taking action and make your dreams come true today.
