MOTIVATION

I had short chats with some people who were participating as blood donors at the event organized by a social organization on Sunday last week. Most of them have pretty similar answers when asked with a question about the motivation behind donating their blood - they want to help other people.

Some people might think that there is an economical reason for donating blood and yes that could also be true. However, the discussions that I had with street parking attendants who came there still in their uniforms revealed that the packages given in return of their participation is not the main factor that motivated them to donate their blood. At the event there were also people with good financial standing whom I personally know and when asked about their motivation their answers are also to help other people beside also to stay healthy because of donating their blood. And there was also one young female artist who is also participating with a motivation to help other people.

We all aware that achievements and successes are made possible through motivation. It could begin just as wishes to accomplish something but the results will of course all depend on our desires and efforts to make those wishes come true. There could be sacrifices and hardships involved in achieving those what we want but we shall focus our attention on the rewards and happiness of achieving our goals to always maintain our motivation.

Remind ourselves daily about our goals and visualize the happiness we can enjoy from reaching those goals.
