Need for motivation

Need for motivation

Every one of us needs motivation to continue with personal and work life commitments. Motivation is something that creates the desire, provides energy, activates behavior and provides directions to perform things. Persistence of any behavior or work needs the right motivation. Many researchers believe that one does not indulge in a behavior until and unless he/she is energized to do it through motivation.¹

Many a times it has been noted that individuals generally respond to a complex event in the environment persistently up to a particular point and then tend to decrease the intensity of persistence. This generally occurs due to the lack of motivation in them. Motivation is like the accelerator in the car. When you feel the car has slowed down, you need to push the pedal to gain speed. Motivation acts as an accelerator in life.

Painting and in particular creating my mandala art series motivates me.
