My Sources of MOTIVATION

I am motivated by success. To me, success is composed of three parts each containing an emotion coupled with an action:

1. the excitement of setting goals

2. the reassurance of making progress towards those goals

3. the satisfaction of reaching those goals.

Success is doing the things that I say I will do, and being the person that I want to be. Who I will one day be, I am now becoming. I am motivated by my success, because my success proves that I am one step closer to becoming the person that I will one day be.

Set Goals

“Chasing Dreams”

The first component of success is setting goals. In order to set the appropriate goals, I have to be self aware- knowing what I want in life, in my career, in my community. I am an idealist, a dreamer, and a believer. I set goals that are important to me. My greatest goal in the present and near future is leading a company of trainers and consultants to make an impact in the world by connecting people through effective interpersonal communication. Because my goals come from my heart, I do whatever it takes; I work for it, fight for it, and live for it. Because I am passionate about my goals, I make my goals a reality. The cycle of success continues when my accomplishment fuels my next goal. I am always chasing after my dreams, always moving forward.

Take Action

The next step of success is taking action and making progress. I learned that in order to reach a destination that I have never been before, I must travel on a road that I have also never taken before. I am currently pursuing my MBA because I will learn tools and gain resources that I don’t already have in reaching my goals. There is a certain element of uncertainty when I set out towards any new goal, but I am motivated by knowing I am heading in the right direction. This is why I choose to face challenges and take on obstacles because they serve as proof that I am heading towards success and experiencing growth.

Have Integrity

Lastly, the act of doing what I say I will do and being who I say I want to be provide the greatest feeling of accomplishment and fulfilment. My past accomplishments during my undergraduate career and my professional experience give me confidence to set new sights and chase after bigger dreams. Every promise I make and keep to myself gives me confidence and courage. I am motivated by success because my successes, big or small, pave my path to becoming the person that I will one day be.
