In this work I will talk about self-motivation
as a very important component of interpersonal skills. I will explain the
basics about this concept and give some tips for people to use in the daily
basis.
What is self-motivation?
Self-motivation is a force that makes people want to achieve goals and
do things and improve the quality of life. So many writers, philosophers,
scientists and researchers tried to explain this concept in book, articles,
blogs, etc… that in the days we live in there are hundreds of tips and plans for
people to follow in order to have a higher level of self-motivation.
Daniel Goleman, writer of many recognized
books related with emotion intelligence identified four main pillars of
Motivation:
·
Personal drive to achieve, the desire to improve or to meet certain
standards;
·
Commitment to personal or organisational goals;
·
Initiative, which he defined as ‘readiness to act on
opportunities’; and
·
Optimism, the ability to keep going and pursue goals in the
face of setbacks.
It has been
proved that self-motivation can help you in so many aspects of life, the tendency
is that people that are self-motivated tend be more confident, have a better organisation
and time management.
