Self Motivation Skills

in #life7 years ago (edited)

Self motivation skills is about getting to the core of who you are in essence. Represents where you are going, but it doesn't say how you are going to get there.

Your self motivation says allot about your potential, about what you can do with your life, but it doesn't tell you what to do. These skills carry certain definite characteristics, but these are inner and not outer.

Your skills can give you some clues about your identity but it is just one part of the total picture. You are an individual, not a generality.

Realize Your Possibilities

Your self motivation skills are part of your core identity, and function as your sense of yourself.

The process of growing into yourself and fulfilling the posibilities of your skills lasts a lifetime. Its not something that once it's done, it's over. You are always growing toward your skills and what they offer you. This is a slow process. You must realize that there is allot more to you than you know. Then you will begin to understand who you are and what you may be able to do with your life.

As you get older you will express different aspects of yourself and your skills at different times. So it is definately not a static quality in your life.

Put another way your self motivation skills might be called your "self conciousness," how you view the world from your standpoint as an individual.

There are different ways for different people that we express our skills:

 Skills expressed through...

a) Action

b) Stability

c) Thinking

d) Feeling

e) Creativity

f) Practicality

g) Uniting

h) Desire

i) Learning

j) Usefulness

k) Humanity

l) Imagination

Your skills represent what you may feel you are on earth here to do, or your purpose. Note that this is only your potential, and is not a promise or guarantee. An individual's life is full of multiple influences.
