Motivation is what makes you want to do things. It’s what makes you want to get up and get going. It is what makes you believe that you can get something done if you try.
If a person is motivated to work, then the person will be productive at their job. They will feel more like working and they will enjoy the work more. They will be more likely to excel in their careers and move on to even better things because they will more “geared” to doing it.
Motivation is usually a good thing, as long as you are motivated about doing something good. Have motivation can lead to a variety of positive changes in a persons life. People climb mountains because they are “motivated” to get to the top. People go to college because they are “motivated” to graduate. It’s all about getting what you want.

Motivation
- At home, I have a hard time getting most of my own small projects done. I tend to procrastinate and it is something I dislike. It tends to be frustrating when I can’t seem to follow through till the end quickly or at all but I still don’t give up on then.
- Dealing with irrate clients and doing things that is not in my purpose of doing and the things I do is not me its another person inside of me.. such as stressing and thinking a lot .. I want to do things but I cant because something is keeping me away from doing it
- I am frustrated on my own own self…I am loosing motivation and my fear is increasing. I want to be happy but don’t know how..i want to be success but feeling very puzzled and confused… Biggest problem I feel is I am not been able to express my self and open up properly and reduce my fear.
- I feel lost with no direction to my life ahead. I have no idea what will I do after graduating, and I waste a lot of time procrastinating. I feel the the education system has to be blamed for this. I find myself lost in the rat race. I can’t handle failures. I have less patience.
- I have a dream, a goal that I feel I must do and it’s the only thing I need and want to do, but I can’t get myself to take a step and it is frustrating because I don’t know why I can’t. I don’t know if it’s fear, lack of confidence, or pure laziness, but the most agitating and most frieghtning thing is it may not be what I want although it’s all I dream about. But what I want at this point is a female companion to want it with me and to empower me, because having this dream feels empty having it by myself and that emptiness is demotivational.
- I often think about what the next level of conscious life is. Like if there is a God or if earth or the universe is actually a living and thinking life form. I’m really having a hard time staying interested in my job and everyday I go to work I have to fight the frustrations of work.
- I tried many things in life, like being idle(since I had inferiority complex I felt it would b better if I live like saint but that was not me. I feel very unenergetic due to that act and am looking for people to understand). I like being praised by people.i like being around people but due to tht act I am not able to be with people(friends) and I physically feel weak. am afraid of my future. I am doing things out of force and I find difficulty dealing with mmy inertia( inactive state of my body) and I have to force it. my confidence is getting decreased and I forget things since seven years before which I usually never forgot.
- I was nice to one girl and she called me B*TCH !!! It was shock at first but then it turned out to be frustrating since it felt like all your effort were not recognised at all . Thinking about it makes me lose my motivation in doing anything other things .
- Iam worried that Iam not travelling in life with any sort of goals like what next in my life interms of career.I want to start learning but procrastination is dominating and I always fear to challenge a situation for example learning new things.In my previous job I didnt much concentrate on learning new things by asking experience people in my domain due to which my knowledge on my domain is below average.When I want to search for new jobs its not helping me.Now after 3.4 years experience in software I joined for MSc in a University and when I want to learn new things there is no energizing motivation around me to complete learning the technology in time…I do keep short time goals but I don’t complete the goals…I know this is very frustrating….but I need help…I want to get override of this situation.
- I’m moody person. My mood can up and down suddenly. I have a some laziness to start something. I’m afraid to start my passion because of any doubts in my heart, such as failure and so on . I used to be a careless person, over thinker and selfish. But I try to manage it, control it
- In general deep frustration comes to me when I put all my energy in anything but I find the one in front of me is giving no value to the effort and topic though it is for his/her complete benefit and willing of taking no step forward even if it is a small step to move forward though he/she is capable.
- I’ve been trying to become an Entrepreneur of sorts, specifically in technology. I feel like my motivation is being slammed because I keep making excuses about too much school, that I need to be in shape first, or I have to see my friends. I’m frustrated because I know I have the potential, drive, and experience to be a successful entrepreneur, but I fail to devote myself to my ideas… But I love to do it.
- Life infuriates me sometimes. I feel I’m stuck not knowing where to go, but I want to go somewhere. This pertains to anything from a physical location or an emotional state. Variety is the spice of life, and life is meant to be an adventure. But not all see things this way, and if they do they rarely act upon it.
- The most frustrating thing that I’ve had to do in the past few days is deal with rejection. It seems like in all my efforts to advance in life are rejected. Not all things that I want to do or become apart of are rejected but the things that I want the most I don’t get. Even something small I don’t get.
