Motivation is a power through which people accomplish their particular goals and strive to fulfil a desire. Highly self-motivated people don’t need a push as they are internally driven towards achieving their goals. A person who is motivated stays positive, doesn’t give up easily and push selves as hard as possible to achieve goals.
A motivation can be external like wealth or self-recognition or internal like achieving a goal for personal satisfaction or desire. The external motivation doesn’t stay for long time while internal one is the real one and stays forever. Internally motivated persons feel satisfied after achieving a goal.
