How to Motivate yourself in 60 seconds?

February 26th, 2010 by Chiraag

We all have different reasons that drive us and motivate us to achieve and pursue our goals in any area of our life. Motivation can be intrinsic (from within) or extrinsic (from external sources). I remember when I was in primary school my Dad promised to buy me a push bike if I came first in class. Having a push bike was something I really wanted. It was something that would give me freedom and the ability to explore. It meant that I could have adventures, travel on my own, visit friends and feel great. It meant so much to me. The motivation for this was so high that it changed something within me. I wanted this so much.

I did come first in class and my dad bought me the push bike. This was a significant achievement in my teenage life.

Many times people pursue something they really want as having it would mean bringing significant value to their lives. However, there are times that you may have certain goals for which it may be difficult to motivate yourself.
