Goal Setting Tips - What Motivates You?

April 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Self Improvement

What is motivation?

Motivation is both the desire and willingness to do something. It’s what gets you started and keeps you going.

“Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.” Stephen R. Covey

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” Napoleon Hill

Most people are motivated either by the avoidance of pain or the pursuit of pleasure. In my experience the most common motivation seems to be the avoidance of pain.
