Motivation is a
psychological feature that arouses an organism to act towards a desired goal
and elicits, controls, and sustains certain goal directed behaviors. It can be
considered a driving force; a psychological drive that compels or reinforces an
action toward a desired goal. For example, hunger is a motivation that elicits
a desire to eat. Motivation has been shown to have roots in physiological,
behavioral, cognitive, and social areas.
Motivation may
be rooted in a basic impulse to optimize well-being, minimize physical pain and
maximize pleasure. It can also originate from specific physical needs such as
eating, sleeping or resting, and sex.
Motivation is an
inner drive to behave or act in a certain manner. It's the difference between
waking up before dawn to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all
day. These inner conditions such as wishes, desires, goals, activate to move in
a particular direction in behavior.
For me, in order
to increase my motivation in study or while doing my tedious thesis, I listen
to some studying music/song in YouTube. It totally helps me out. This is one of
the Youtube Playlist that I normally use.
