Many people believe that they are the masters of their own destiny, but is it true? Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Jim Rohn quoted this book “The Seven Levels Of Communication”. To succeed, self-motivation has to be present and a habit created to keep the motivation active. If you think that you are a loser, then there will not be enough motivation for anything because everything feels like too much work.
What is Self-motivated Activity?
A self-motivated activity is an action that you do on your own, without being told to. It’s something that will make the person feel like they accomplished something. Whenever someone does a self-motivated activity there’s always a sense of accomplishment afterward and it makes them more motivated for future activities because they know their potential.
How important is self-motivation?
The importance of self-motivation cannot be understated. If you believe that you can do anything, then it will not matter what anyone else says to make you feel bad about yourself or your actions. The most important thing is believe in oneself and also feeling good when doing something well. It’s difficult for someone who believes they are a loser and feels like they cannot achieve their goals to get out of the self-sabotaging rut because there is too much negativity going on inside the person’s head.
If one were to analyze those successful people from history such as Abraham Lincoln, George Washington Carver, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks – all these great men had some form of self-motivation which helped them overcome challenges while many others failed.
