Motivation (3v)


Motivation means “the reason one has for acting or behaving in a particular way”. To me motivation goes along with the words, self-discipline (the ability to control one's feelings and overcome one's weaknesses), and self-assurance(confidence in one's own abilities or character). All three need to coexist together. Even if the motivation is extrinsic, one still needs to have a self-drive to accomplish the task at hand. For example, I work at Burger King. I absolutely hate my job, but I know I need to make money to pay off my car. So I have an extrinsic motivation (making money), but I have the self-discipline to get the job done even though I can’t stand the job.
