Get Motivated Today With These 4 Essential Pillars of Motivation
I want to give you four wonderful pillars for motivation, four main themes to underpin a healthy sense of drive and inspiration.
- The first main pillar of motivation is to gain recognition from peers.
When soldiers in wartime give up their lives during combat, why do they do it? Is it because of patriotism, a belief in the cause they are fighting for, or a fear of court martial if they do otherwise? Perhaps all these things play a part, but extensive research has shown that what really motivates a soldier to fight well incombat is the desire for the respect of the person who is fighting right beside him. This is much more important than medals or other forms of public recognition. This is similar to what motivates salesmen on the floor of a car dealership, students in a classroom or a team of lawyers trying to win a case.
