What is your motivation?

Good morning, We all want better lives for ourselves and kin. We work hard to increase our income but what is it that really keeps you going? There are both intrinsic and extrinsic factors that motivate us. Intrinsic factors are things that make us feel good about ourselves like a promotion while more money is an example of an extrinsic factor. As a young parent, nothing gives me more energy than my son and the desire to give him the world. That's what motivates me. What about you?

Children are a great motivator. My motivation comes from what I know about myself. I know I am a child of God. I know he wants what is best for me. I know he rejoices over me. I know he loves me. That's my motivation. I do my best because he did his best for me - sent his Son, Jesus, to die for me so I can be with him for eternity. For me there is no greater motivation.

I have my own family (with children) and things there to taken care. So working and earning is a must for the same. I have to be motivated for them.

@Amazingmay Definitely when we have people around who are depending on us, is enough to motivate us.

That is a good motivator when you have a young son Mercy. That always motivated me to do better too through out life. And he still is my number one motivator, though he is grown

My motivation is my grandpa. He is such a smart- diligent-humble person. So, that why i want to be a person like him. Eventhough on that time, he could not walk anymore. but he still kept doing hard his work. He once said, "it is always be a productivity" So thats why, i do not wanna lose my productivity while i know that I am more than the productivity. :D
