Sir,

The fullest representations of humanity show people to be curious, vital, self-motivated and inspired at their best in striving to learn. However, it also appears that the human spirit can be diminished and that sometimes individuals reject growth and responsibility.


 The positive phenomenon motivation basically concerns energy, direction, persistence and equifinality.
It is highly valued because of its consequences and that is to say: Motivation produces and therefore of preeminent concern to those who mobilise others to act such as teachers, managers, health care providers, religious leaders and coaches, among others.

People can be motivated because they value an activity or because there is external coercion. Children from the time of birth, in their healthiest state, are active, inquisitive, curious and playful, even in the absence of specific rewards which reflect the human nature feature of being self-motivated.


One of the best reasons why you should be self-motivated is that you don’t need to depend on others if you can learn how to achieve things on your own.
 You can achieve goals, solely based on your strengths and your other abilities. Self-motivation is important for your personal growth. One must not underestimate the important role that self-motivation can play in their lives.
There may come some circumstances when you will lose hope and confidence in yourself.


Your friends and family will support you but you will still know that it’s your life, and you have to take control of it. Sometimes gruesome tragedies persuade you to be on your own and to motivate yourself but then are you going to wait all your life for one big tragedy to occur to you? In other words, you’ll have to learn to heal and inspire yourself every single day.


Only self-motivation is known as an important factor in an individual’s life, especially in this day and age, with the many challenges and a lot of competition to survive. Self-motivation works like a confidence enhancer and thus it reinforces enthusiasm and provides energy to work. It nurtures the desire to do something in life.
