Motivation. Generally when I write my articles they refer to my experiences and my way of seeing life. It may or may not be that someone can identify with my experience, but I’ll still tell what I know. I think that life is full of reasons. If there is no motive to do something there is no stimulus to move forward. My motive may be the fact that I want to work, I want to get enough money to maintain my status, or my family or just to fulfill my primary needs. Then my motivation can be as strong as the desire to achieve a goal. As a young adult I wanted to study to graduate in my chosen career. Being a person who was already independent, financially speaking, I knew that if I stopped working to go to school it would imply certain sacrifices on my part. Being a young, impetuous, hard-working woman, I took on the challenge of my sacrifice because my motivation pushed me to do so.
I won’t say that it was a harsh thing to make this change from a constant working woman to a university student and occasional worker. I threw myself into achieving my goal but when it was time to go on vacation my sacrifices continued because I had to work tirelessly to get the money to continue with my studies. I must also say that I went through extremely difficult times, because many things oppose the continuity of sacrifice and life becomes heavier than usual. Like the fact that I had to move because the money I had ran out and I had nothing to pay my room rent, so I had to move many times as a result. There were other times where I didn't have enough to buy food and spent weekends drinking water and whatever my roommates could give me. No one knew what I was going through because I didn't tell anyone, they were my problems, I would solve them. By Monday the university cafeteria would open its doors and then I would go back to eat. And that’s how it usually went until my vacation money came in. I didn’t allow any of my subjects to be left pending. I couldn’t buy books often so I had to buy what we called "the guides", recorded lecture sheets and handouts that the professors sent as bibliography for our learning. Studying with a classmate who had books was also an option. And the library as a last resort since it only worked during the day, and in the evenings was when I had the most time to study. At some point I felt trapped in my own sacrifice and thought to myself if I should keepd doing this, if it was worth going through this, and why should I do it for many years. That's what I call a fall. A fall is when we feel vulnerable, we no longer have the great power in our heart, the hope fades, depression comes, bad thoughts. But you know what? That's not a bad thing. Falling down is not bad. Feeling frustration, feeling despair, contrary to what may be said, is part of achieving the maturation of our motives. Thinking about whether what we are doing is valuable enough to continue doing it… The important thing is not the fall, that’s a part of life, the important thing is to get up from that fall and become stronger because you overcame your pain and reached a conclusion in your life. You realize that your sacrifice is worth it, that everything you suffer through will have its reward. That if you have a powerful stimulus your motivation will keep going and nothing will be able to hinder you from accomplishing what has cost you so much. When you have strong motives your achievements become more pleasant, your goals become achievable, your dreams come true. Never stop being motivated because your sacrifice will be sacred and will come from your heart. This is just an example of a strong motive to achieve goals, objectives or dreams that seem unattainable at some point in life. But then with great effort, depending on our motive, the culmination of everything will come forth. This is my motivation for this week's challenge from the friend @jonicabradley. I invite my friends @wakeupkitty and @marbleme to participate in this motivational challenge.

It is really experience is the best teacher of all. We experience hardships in life but we take it as a lesson to be learn and become our motivation to move out that situation☺
Motivations bring us difficulties and we endure them. But it is not the difficulties that motivate us.
I truly enjoy your articles. There's always a huge lesson there and a lot of inspiration!
I'm glad you like them, thanks for your support.
I liked the story you chose to participate in this writing challenge. Often you tend to confuse the concepts of motivation and stimulus. Although I have studied various theories in this regard, none fully satisfies the force that moves human beings. So it seems that the binomial motivation and stimulus are combined in a unique way for each person. It may be similar, but never the same. Someone can try to explain the behavior of other people and not even understand the force that moves him. The beauty of human particularity never ceases to amaze me. Each being is a universe unto itself. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us.
Thank you for your comment. It's nice that you have some time to read a little about motivations and encouragement. Thanks for your support always.
We like it or not, we came alone in this world and no one actually cares, whether we are motivated or not. We need to be self-motivated. Never be afraid of failures. Failures may be a failure in someone else’s eyes, but they are a success in disguise as they teach you a lot. Sometimes more than success can ever do. Your story is very inspiring :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment. Yes I have several inspirational stories including stories that talk about failure and climbing to success with the experience of failure.
You're welcome, my friend. Stay awesome yourself!
Reading your articles is worth the time and effort po. I learned a lot from it. Thank you for sharing your life story with us and for the inspiration po. God Bless😇
Thank you for your kind comment.
your welcome po😊
I had struggles, both financially and emotionally. I fell I have to admit. I found myself on the ground, but I got up and went ahead. Yes I got stronger. Now I know what not to do. It was good in a way, that I learned.
That's the good thing about falls, they serve as experience for our future. Those wounds are carried with pride. I congratulate you for your success, go ahead.
Exactly my dear friend, I send you a big hug, take care of yourself.
I just read an article of yours. You've been here for 8 months and I've never read you before. Well from now on I will. Welcome from me to my articles.
Oh yes dear friend, I registered 8 months ago, however at the end of January, was that I started to publish, because I had forgotten I had an account here, since then I try to publish gradually, however I have been lazy interacting with other colleagues like you, so I started to read other people's articles, and I was fortunate to run into you, thanks you will be very welcome, greetings.
That's right my dear friend, however I registered 8 months ago, but I started to publish at the end of January this year, I had forgotten that I had an account here, so I decided to create content here, and I was fascinated, however I interacted very little, so we never met, thanks for your words, greetings
It is really worth it. And at the end of the day, we give thanks to those struggles and falls we had in the past because it made us who we are. I myself is proud of the victories I had myself to all the fall that I had but continue to raise.
And from these experiences we are strengthened to continue growing. May you continue to grow stronger.
Thank you so much and I am happy that I am not alone with this journey you are all part of it now. Thank you to you too for all the warm messages, the advice and supprot you have given. I appreciate you so much.
Our difficulties in life were also one reason why we're motivated to be successful and in reaching our goals. Like me, I experienced a lot. I lost control, full of doubts and also fall. I felt exhausted and tired but everytime I thought of why I am doing things, I always brought to the beginning why I started that thing I am doing. The urge to reach goals. At the end, all the sacrifices and difficulties are worth it.
As we go through these experiences, doubts may arise, but when we achieve our objectives, there is nothing more pleasurable than the triumph that comes from hard work.
Indeed right ma'am. All success from hardwork will totally bring us immeasurable happiness and pleasure.
I think any medical course needs heaps of books and really expensive ones too. I don't have much books in my college years too and like you I resort to the library and group study with classmates especially nights before the exam. If there's a will, surely there is a way 😉
It is true. Everything is made by the interest of each person in achieving the goals set. We are winners!
My dear friend Gertu, what a pleasure to meet you on this great platform, how are you? What a great article you share with us, you know, Motivation is our greatest impulse, it is the difference between dying and living, because without it we are lost beings, we are a ship adrift, and it is incredible that you share this with us, because you went through hard times, moments in which you could leave everything half way and say: No more, I'm tired. And this was understandable, however you were still there, sacrificing yourself, and above all giving the best of you, and that's what life is about, to put heart and soul to what we do, understand that obstacles and situations that make us feel frustrated will appear, but as you mention, it's okay to fall, it's okay to feel bad, because that helps us to reflect and see things better, what is not okay is to stop, to stagnate. I complement this great publication adding to the Motivation, Perseverance, Constancy and a lot of hope, all these friends, go hand in hand, without it we can not achieve what we dream, my respects my dear friend, take care of yourself, thank you for this inspiring, that helps us to move forward.
Hello, my respects for these parts of the platform. Welcome to my articles. Thank you for sharing my experiences and making clear some personal input from your own experience.
Thanks for inviting me. To be honest I have no idea where mine comes from. I guess it's the part of me that's a survivor, still survives.
Yes, my friend, life for many of us is about being a survivor. Thank you for coming.
Your article ia such a reality for everyone. Indeed, we all have reasons why we strive hard in this life no matter how tiring it is. For me, I choose to work hard for my family. I wanma give them the life they deserve.
You should make your post concerning this topic and there you can dabble in the weekly themes suggested by this user. The motivations of each person are the greatest stimuli to follow that a person has. Thank you for your comment and for being another family warrior.
Oh thanj you so much. I was actually thinking of topics and this one is great.
