Know Thyself through MOTIVATION

How motivated would you consider yourself to be? If you have a goal, how motivated are you to achieve it?

Try and think of the last ‘goal’ that you obsessed over, what was that which you thought about at all convenient hours and some not so convenient hours? Now regardless of whether or not you achieved your goal, while you were preoccupied with this captivating objective, on a scale of 1 to 10, how MOTIVATED were you?

motivation/ ˌməʊtɪˈveɪʃən / n / :
  1. the act or an instance providing with a reason to act in a certain way

  2. desire to do; interest or drive

  3. incentive or inducement

  4. psychol the process that arouses, sustains and regulates human and animal behavior

 

For this particular exercise and this particular scale, a person with a motivation level of a ‘1‘ would be as follows:

Someone who dreams of this goal, wants it so bad, deserves it so much, has feelings of anger for those fortunate to have what they have not, and has many people to blame for not having it; which really pisses them off because…they REALLY WANT it.

On the opposite side of the spectrum for this particular exercise and this particular scale, a person with a motivation level of a ‘10‘ would be as follows:

Someone who focus on and works for this goal, figures out what has to be done to get it…and just does it; usually with little to no blaming.
