Self Motivation

"Self motivation plays an important role in enhancing your self esteem."

So says Bertil Hjert in his self-motivation article that you can read below. Bertil believes that motivation is a very important energy needed as fuel to drive anyone's life, and gives several reasons why self motivation is so important for self improvement.

You'll also find definitions (and links) on self motivation from other sources like WikiPedia as well as motivational and inspirational quotes

And, of course, I'd love to hear what you think about self motivation!

Self motivation - what I say...

Even though my self esteem has been low at times, I've always been motivated to make the best of myself. Yes, my self-discipline to study hard for exams, or to train regularly to stay fit, or to read self-help books to improve myself all comes from self-motivation: doing something because you want to do it, and not because someone has told you to do it!

Still, there is a relationship between self-esteem and self-motivation - you don't usually get one without the other! In my case, you did - maybe.

Like Bertil, I think self motivation is the energy you need to achieve things in life. High energy, high achievements. So I do think self improvement and motivation go hand in hand.

Anyway, I'm talking too much. It must be someone else's turn... (Lol.)

"People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they
can do things. When they believe in themselves they
have the first secret of success."
