I am not sure if you have ever asked someone or even yourself what motivates them/you in life. When I talk about motivation in life, I am considering the factors that drive and amplify our aggression to succeed.
Even though there are thousands of things which can be cited as the fountain of motivation for various people, these sources of motivation can simply be classified into two; desire to achieve and desire to beat others.
Before you proceed, can you point out where your motivation springs from? Is it your desire to achieve or desire to beat others?
As much as both sources of motivation have the aggressive fuel to push you towards success in life, motivation based on your desire to beat others lack the strength to endure for a longer time. It therefore more than not leaves you half way. It is the source that easily breeds ‘Give-Up’, Copycats and failure.
To be creative enough and be equipped with a long term strong drive which will dwell and push you to realize your goals, your source of motivation must be founded on your desire to achieve and not merely to beat others.
If you are not getting to your goal or if it is taking you extremely long to succeed, examine and re-evaluate the foundation upon which your motivation to whatever you are seeking rest. If needed, redefine your source of motivation, let go your desire to beat others and adopt a desire to achieve; for it is the inspiration to creativity. Good Morning & Have A Great Week!

Beautiful article….bt am wondering how many people have even read this..?? If it had been an issue about one useless actor or actress, i bet the comments would have been ful….it tells about the kind of people who visit this site….70% are twebs !!!!
@kofi, LMAO.
I’m glad to say am not the type who’s motivation comes from beating/competing with others. But yes I agree it’s good to figure why being competitive in this way is of no advancement to yourself. Thinking about it now my motivation comes more from having credibility, being able to hook up the friends and fam, having freedom and not putting myself in a position where I need to beg anyone for anything!
