ARE YOU SELF-MOTIVATED?

Strong Mind
     During self-motivation, you will experience self determination.  With enough self-discipline you will become completely self-propelled. 
“Motivation accounts for the level, direction, and persistence of effort expended at work (Schermerhorn, 2011).”      
     Hard work is the key.  An unmotivated person would not agree with that.  Individuals who are not determined to persevere enthusiastically will hold back, and only work to the minimum specifications of their job.



        Motivation is a concept.  The concept begins with an individual’s needs.  There are obviously different sets of needs, but generally all of these needs cause tensions that change attitudes and behavior.  Being self-motivated teaches you to satisfy the important needs through hard work.

People who possess self confidence are able to view difficult goals as a challenge. Positive thinking enables people to visualize a rewarding future.  A motivating environment provides opportunities for teamwork and creates a workplace where people are 'on the same page' ((http://www.examiner.com/article/motivation-13 ); Motivation An Essential Ingredient For Professional Success; Jerald H. Yatt, Arlington Workplace Issues Examiner) 

     Remain positive.  Maintain the belief that working hard will actually result in high task performance.  Then you will slowly work toward your goals.  Set some fairly specific goals.  Also, set some challenging goals.  Except those goals and then make a commitment.  Prioritize your goals.  As you realize that they are attainable, you reward yourself for all accomplishments.

     
     As you follow these steps, keep reminding yourself that you are determined to finish.  You will successfully create a condition under which you’re inspired to put forth an effort at a specific level and direction, consistently.
