_{designed in canva}

It has been a beautiful journey since the inception of the engagement contest and I am pleased to be a part of this initiative, yet again, I am here to present my participation in this contest topic which says, A LITTLE BIT OF MOTIVATION CAN GO LONG WAY.

Motivation is a force that drives certain adrenaline in you to activate a certain behavior, it could be biological, emotional, or social.

It is what forces you to act, to do something, to challenge, to determine, to support, get goals, to bag achievement, to be an incentive, it is what cause you to act, to see opportunity, to seek power, and to develop.

Psychologically, there are extrinsic, intrinsic, and family motivations, here in this category of motivation are different ways to motivate, an example of intrinsic motivation is what is done in the steem for a better life community, which is charity, an act done without expectation, donations and examples are going to the gym and losing weight or learning a new skill, it is a desire from within with no expectation or reward, and an extrinsic is different, it's quite the opposite, it is an act that is triggered by external factors like a reward, recognition. Examples are students studying to impress their parents, and fear of losing a job if consistently go to work late.

Pick TWO of these characters and tell us why you have picked them and what you see as the meaning of these words.

• Merida

I don't know about this cartoon animation but I find this motivational word by merida interesting, "our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it". From my understanding of what merida says, it means our destiny is in our palm, we just need to be brave enough to decide the part to find our goals.

Our fate is determined by us, and we need to fight for what we want, what we know that will be helpful or right for us, even if we have to go against rules.

• Pinocchio

Always let your conscience be your guide, I believe we all have a conscience, and it is not surprising that our conscience guide us always, but mostly human ignores what the conscience advises.

We need to always trust our conscience, our principles and make decision that aligns with our conscience

Our conscience knows what is right, when we listen to it we can achieve what seem impossible.

Do you think the statement “A little bit of motivation can go a long way” is true or false? Explain your answer.

I believe it can, because motivation has been a source of strength when I am down, the statement is affirmative,

In life, we all go through challenges, and most time we overcome and overcome them but that doesn't stop another challenge from showing,

Sometimes we get tired of everything and as such our guards are let down and the morale is not their to gear us up in such situations,

Motivation will do a great job to get you back on track, it could be from within you or from someone, as the case may be, it helps in a way that pushes one harder than before. In conclusion, a little bit of motivation can go a long way and it is true.

Why is motivation important to you as a person?

Motivation is important to me because I see it as a backbone, a supporter that helps me whenever I am down with a lot on my table.

Aside from that it gears me up, it serves as support to go even harder to desire more success,

In this economy, where we face a lot that needs to be attended to, there are a lot of expectations from us, and if the situation is not yet favorable, we may want to give up. We begin to feel demoralized, in such situation encouragement and motivation can make us push harder beyond imagination.

We work hard and in the end, we have little or nothing to show for it, at that time even the simplest thing looks complicated, in this situation motivation is needed, it is no doubt that we need motivation to do almost everything in life, to achieve a goal we need to be motivated, seeing people doing great can serve as a motivation and motivation is needed to achieve anything in life, like career, degrees, learning, and many more.

Do you motivate others? Give two examples

Yes, I do, I have been able to motivate people in life, especially friends, but here I will talk about my younger sister, which I motivated when the road wasn't rosy anymore in her program to become a cateter.

She was a graduate and securing a good job has been a problem, with countless efforts and attempt to get good jobs were not successful, as such by her self she taught of learning about catering, a course for 6 months.

Along the line, everything began to fall on her and the workload was too much because she was the only apprentice remaining at that time, after 4 months she complains a lot and sometimes she even falls sick from stress as a result of the activities she does.

As she complains, I encourage her to finish the course, it only 2 months remaining. I tell her the numbers of days used cannot be compared to the remaining day for her at the workplace, with enough encouragement and motivation, alhamdulillah today, we have a caterer.

Motivation goes a long way than imagined, It has helped a lot of people in several ways, in the Steemit platform, I have been able to motivate lots of people, especially now that I engage more by commenting, some people find it hard to believe that it was possible, but with motivation and determination, it will be possible, I encourage steemian a lot and I will continue to do so,

A lot of brothers are complaining about support but what it tell them is, the more you expect to reward the more disappointed you will be which will affect your morale to publish posts. I tell them to let support come to you as a surprise, not an expectation.

A friend chatted with me about vote bot, an old user, you can imagine, complained about support, so he wanted to use the buy vote option.

I had to discourage him and motivate him to continue writing, I told him the step remaining to reach its peak is just a little, with more patience and visibility, the support will find him. And today I am grateful he listened and continue to post even without the support he claims not to get, now I see booming votes all over his post and I am glad I was helpful to him when it matters.

What habits can you create to increase motivation yourself?

Self-confidence is first, believing in myself, I do this a lot, I make an average of 45 comments or more per day, and some days I get so lazy that I wouldn't want to make my target, with enough belief in myself I have been able to overcome the laziness and this has been a habit for a while now,

Setting a goal is a habit created to increase motivation in myself, I set goals and as such I make sure I meet my target daily, as I have said I made sure I made at least 45 comment or more per day with a publication, Sometimes it gets rough, but most importantly is the effort I put in every day to achieve my goal and target.

Some words are beyond words, with just words you can change someone's life and otherwise, I implore us to not relent on whatever we aspire to do, especially on the platform, today it's you and tomorrow it may be others, let's encourage ourselves and it will be a win-win for us all.

I would like to invite my friends @yakspeace @abialfatih @rubilu123 @marlyncabrera @josepha @fantvwiki @ijebest to participate in this contest
