Motivation of Self

You must have heard the famous proverb -‘You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.This proverb is true and where self-motivation plays a key role. No matter how much motivation external agents may provide to a person, unless and until a person is self-motivated, a person will not be ready to face and achieve the greater goals of his life and to fulfil his/her destiny.
Motivation is an integral element in becoming successful in any undertaking. Motivation has also been defined as a desire or need which directs and energizes behaviour that is oriented towards a goal.Motivation determines the direction, intensity of behaviour/effort and helps in sustaining that direction and intensity over time. Motivation is what gets you started; habit is what keeps you going. Nothing is IMPOSSIBLE and the word itself means “I’M POSSIBLE” (Audrey Hepburn).
