Different things motivate different people.
What shapes us as individuals? Is it our nature that we are born with that dominates our future path, or is it nurture – the way that we are brought up and the influences on and around us during that time? Of course the truth is that it is a blend of both.
The main thing that motivates the vast majority, if not all of us, is to be loved and accepted and to know that we are good enough.
This desire for acceptance creates in us a sort of rule-book of beliefs and values, a sense of right and wrong, what is acceptable and what is not. They could be helpful beliefs or unhelpful beliefs.
There are a myriad of things that you may have adopted as a world view, beliefs about what is good and acceptable. However, these fit other people’s ideas of what is right and appropriate – and not necessarily yours. You have to test these for yourself and decide whether they are relevant to your life today.
The world is constantly changing and without understanding yourself you may struggle to thrive – or even survive – in the changing environment. Finding and understanding ourselves enables us to let go of outdated notions and respond to the changing world as it really is.
I believe they are all part of the whole of the human experience. On the other hand, I believe that we as humans suffer so much confusion and unhappiness in these times because we equate the economic and socially constructed symbols of attainment via credentials and "stations" in society as motivators or success.
All of the above things are very important for human being not only develop a strong career but also a flexible life style which can help us to lead a easy life within difficulties
