Introduction and Overview of Motivation
In the modern world, motivation has been considered a key element in determining how
one approaches different life situations. Motivation can be defined as a set of energetic forces
used to create the desired effort and attitudes when approaching different situations (Butenko,
2020). In most cases, most decisions' actions reached by different individuals are dependent on
their intentions. A set of goals and desires has been found to influence different approaches and
techniques to address different issues. The word motivation has been derived from the word
motive, which implies the desire to do certain things or commit to actions (Turturean, 2014).
Some human needs and desires require motivation to ensure adherence to certain requirements
and desires. A person's direction towards a specific behavior is defined and determined by
different motivations (Butenko, 2020). Therefore, developing an understanding of different
factors influencing motivation is essential in ensuring we can adequately address key obstacles
we are likely to encounter in our daily activities.
There are two main types of motivation, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic
motivation refers to one's desire to accomplish different tasks that come from within. Through
intrinsic motivation, it becomes easier to define the course of actions and activities; one is likely

somebody towards pursuing a particular career path (Butenko, 2020). On the other hand,
extrinsic motivation is where one is influenced by external forces, such as events and other
individuals. Through extrinsic motivation, it becomes easier to develop the right attitude to

study and work smarter in class based on counseling events that highlight the benefits of working

hard. Motivation speeches by successful entrepreneurs of career people develop a strong basis to
develop and nurture extrinsic motivation.
The development of motivation is based on a combination of both the unconscious and
conscious factors. Being able to master motivation plays a crucial role in developing the right
attitude needed to address key challenges and obstacles we are bound to experience in our daily
activities. Mastering motivation is essential as it facilitates the development of a deliberate
practice that serves as a guide in addressing key obstacles we are bound to face in the course of
our daily activities (Butenko, 2020). A majority of the successful individuals have been governed
by motivation, which serves as a strong basis for developing the right attitude and approach to
address key issues we are l...
