IS MONEY MOTIVATION THE ONLY KIND OF MOTIVATION?

Motivation can be several things to several people. To some, money motivation is the ultimate while to some others; money motivation is just a secondary stuff. I have come to realise that money motivation is not really a motivating factor as money comes and goes. What really motivates people into action is the desire to impress. Yes, the desire to impress people around is what really sparks the light of motivation in us human being.


I was opportune to interview some successful wealthy men in my community about their view on money motivation. 75% of them agreed to the fact money is a motivating factor but made their stand known that money is not the real man behind the mask.

The other 25% of the interviewee out rightly disagreed and vehemently said that money is never a motivating factor. One of them even went ahead to say that money discourages her from doing what she ought to do. Can you beat that? A situation whereby money becomes what will make one not to work.

Seriously speaking, money shouldn’t be a major factor to consider in the area of motivation. People should learn to think beyond the immediate and think of the potentials in virtues, honour and respect that money cannot buy. A young man who was recently released from the prison for violating the law confessed of not being influenced by the money involved in what he did but for the love and affection he hoped to gain by doing what he did.

This will further convince you that money motivation is not all that we need to get motivated and remain motivated.

Be positively motivated!

WHAT IS MY MOTIVATION?

What is my motivation is a question that is constantly posed by many that are yet to find their true self. Have you ever sat down to ask your self this question? If you have not, then you have the chance to ask yourself this question now. Self discovery is a must achieve virtue for everyone that is seriously looking for motivation. You cannot be in the open and expect to be sheltered. Same applies to motivation, you cannot know what your motivation is if you don’t firstly discover yourself.


Before you can ask your self the question of what motivates you, you need to firstly know what motivation is. Motivation is a relative term whose meaning is heavily influenced by the definers’ perspective. If you are the type that believes in  Money Motivation, then, motivation in your dictionary will be synonymous to money.

Generally speaking, motivation is any moving force that makes us to search deep and bring out the best in us no matter what circumstance. This presupposes that motivation does not have to be afraid of anything whatsoever.

Interviews I had with successful people revealed to me that they all have one trait in common; they are fearless. Motivation cannot live in a fearful environment. Hence, another step towards finding motivation is to get rid of destructive fears. Though we all need certain amount of fear to get motivated, but, too much of fear would be more detrimental than useful. You need motivation to excel in the face of economic meltdown

LOST MOTIVATION shouldn’t be an issue if; we discover ourselves and reasonably eliminate harmful fears. Again, take time to find out reasons for lost of motivation as this will help you excel in life.
