Can any amount of success be acheived without motivation? I think not. Success is an uphill struggle and if you lack motivation then it will be very easy to give up at the first hurdle. Motivation of course comes in different guises and people are motivated by different things...some are motivated by money, the actually achievment of success, family etc etc. Some people are motivated by mortality.
Mortality in the sense that their names are remembered even after they dead. People like Bob Marley, Elvis Presley and Gandhi will always be remembered. Also people like Microsoft's Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Nelson Mandela, Richard Branson will be remembered by people long after they are dead so in a sense they become immortal. Some people are even motivated by the successes of very successful people like I have mentioned above.
Whatever it maybe, motivation is still the driving force behinde a lot of the successes you will find today. I believe in motivation to such an extent that I set up a web portal to provide resources to help people get and stay motivated. The website is http://www.wish2getha.com.
I believe sometimes our life experiences determines what motivates us. Take the example of someone that was born into a poor family and while young he vows to work very hard to be rich and successful. In this case his motivation may be the fear of being poor. Quite a few people have admitted that their motivation has been the sheer fear of poverty, fear although a negative emotion is used to achieve a positive outcome in this case. Other people may be driven by the fear of failure, if someone is afraid of failing, this could motivate the person to work really hard to achieve success in whatever they do.
Other motivating forces could be greed, power, revenge, protection, impress etc. Motivation comes in various guises and are not always noble.
It is up to you to find what motivates you, what keeps you going when everyone else has given up? Look deep into you and try and find the one thing that will make you go that extra mile, give you strength or keep you going when everything else has failed or there seems to be no hope. What is the one thing that will spur you on when you are on the verge of giving up?
I wish you every success in all your endeavours and stay motivated.
