Behavioral theory suggests that we are more motivated and prone to do and complete a task when there is a reward or a consequence involved. Meaning whether or not it's positive (money) or its negative like (meeting a deadline) is how we will respond better to a situation or task.

Social theory suggests that we are motivated by our relationships. When our status is shaped by public opinion, family and friends it can be a big participant in the kind of motivation or drive behind why we do certain things or behave in some ways.

Cognitive Theory

Cognitive Theory suggest that a persons imteractions and interpretations of events causes their reaction to said events. Which to me means their experience with life depecits how we respond to the challenges of life. Which also change the motivation behind the desision made to best handle the situation.

Humanistic Theory

Humanistic Theory suggests that we view the whole person instead of just their parts. It also suggests that we move and become motivated if certain basic needs aren't met, such as food, water, stability, security, and social needs like being loved and accepted, to become who we are. This level of motivation takes precedence over one's actions and becomes natural fuel to get to who we are meant to be in order to meet the needs necessary to feel whole. That's what I understand of it.

Motivation Technique 1.

Set Realistic Goals: I think setting realistic goals is key for my journey. Success of little achievements builds momentum and boosts confidence that snowball into massive success and opportunity. When you set these achievable goals, it only eases the journey by organizing what is most important to achieve the bigger picture. 1 by one you start marking off obstacles and the thing that once was the size of a mountain becomes something you can step on or around. You become bigger than your problems and everything just effortlessly fall into place

Motivation Technique 2

I think that staying positive is key to my own motivation and success. I have always believed that it takes positivity to create. When you come up with a new idea or plan everyone believes its gonna work at first. No one creates something saying this definitely wont work. That belief you have in the beginning is the only positivity you need to see it through. I believe that if you stay positive and believe in yourself that you will see great success in any endeavor.

Maintaining Motivation

I think that maintaining motivation is a You thing. I love DJ Khaled because he's always so motivated and encouraging every time he speaks to his audience. It's a state of mind. A constant state of being that only a few possess. Yes, it's always good to have a couple of people in your corner to cheer you on, but people with good energy and vibes don't need encouragement. They inspire through their own fire and desire to do more and be better each day. We da BEST!!!!!!

In my Own Words

Its Purpose that give us the innate ability to achieve the impossible. The motivation to keep pushing when we feel like giving up. In my personal experience. Love is what ultimately gave me the motivation to persevere. Love for myself. Love is what made me stand back up after being knocked down. The Love of my father, who came to just let me talk and would silently listen and quietly, subtly, encourage me. He would change my life with a single phrase.

"If you'll just try, you may just get out there and surprise yourself."

I know that may seem like nothing. But to a person who was at the end of his rope, it held so much weight. Giving up is not an option. The moment you give up, you lose. As long as you keep trying the miracle can happen. The magic stays alive. Today My motivation is an internal blaze that stays lit like the Olympic torch.
