Motivation

We dream of the things we want, what we know we can have. We wish to have more, to have better, to do better, because we know better.  We talk of how we can attain these things, this life.  What we lack is Motivation.  What I need, is Motivation..


Definition: Motivation is the driving force which causes us to achieve goals. Motivation is said to be intrinsic or extrinsic. The term is generally used for humans but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the causes for animal behavior as well.  According to various theories, motivation may be rooted in a basic need to minimize physical pain and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as eating and resting, or a desired object, goal, state of being, ideal, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as altruism, selfishness, morality, or avoiding mortality. Motivation is related to, but distinct from, emotion.
