I have two questions for you:
- Do you think motivation is important? And
- Do you think motivation can lead you to success?
If you are wondering why motivation is important and how it can bring you the success you want, continue to read on because, in this article, I’m going to share with you how having motivation can increase your chances of success.
I know, we all understand that motivation is important. Everything we do, we do because of motivation.
Without motivation, it feels boring to do the work. Think about doing the dishes or cleaning the house. Don’t it seems boring and tedious to do those tasks without motivation?
But, what if your best friends are visiting and hence, you want to clean up your house to give a pleasant feel to them?
Out of a sudden, your level of motivation changes. You don’t feel that doing the dishes or cleaning the house seem so boring anymore.
This is why motivation is important. Without motivation, we will do things without passion. And if we don’t do things passionately, we will never deliver a great job, which eventually, decreases our chances of success.
This is why motivation can lead you to success.
If you still wondering how, check out these couple of reasons below…
1. Motivation Leads You to Execution
First, motivation leads you into action. Why do you think most people fail to achieve their goals? They don’t take enough action.
We all want to get back in shape and we want to save more money. But, we fail to do so because we often lack the motivation to stick to our plan.
And this is why motivation is crucial. It pumps you up and helps you do the necessary tasks so that you can achieve your goals and produce the results you desire.
No one can achieve success without motivation. If you want to beat procrastination, learn how to manage your motivation. Or simply use the Procrastination Fix method.
2. Motivation Makes You More Committed
I bet you have heard this over and over again, that we need to be 100% committed in order to achieve great success in life.
And how do you increase your level of commitment? Through motivation. When your motivation is strong, you feel more committed and are willing to do whatever it takes.
In fact, motivation comes hand-in-hand with commitment.
If you don’t feel committed to your goals, you will never feel motivated to execute and take action on them. You will procrastinate and not taking action.
To solve this, you must find a way to either increase your motivation or improve your commitment.
3. Motivation Brings You More Opportunity
Yes, motivation can bring you more opportunities. Why and how? Well, it is pretty straight forward actually.
When you are motivated, you’re full of energy and are passionate. You will never sit and do nothing. Instead, you will go out and make things happen.
Regardless of whether your methods work or not, you will somehow stumble upon something that will work.
Just like if you don’t know how to solve your website’s problem, but you are motivated to do so. Hence, you decided to visit an online forum and ask around. Guess what, people will reply to you and bring you the solution.
This is how most successful people achieve extraordinary results in life. Nobody has all the answers, but if you are committed and motivated, you will find the answer.
That’s how success is created. And that’s how motivation can lead you to the success you desire.
4. Motivation Grows Your Self-Confidence
Do you know that people who are motivated tend to have a higher level of self-confidence? When you are motivated, you somehow will feel more confident than when you are not.
In fact, motivation can bring out a lot of your inner positive values and characters. According to this article from Career Addict, motivation increases your energy level and also makes you happier.
When you’re feeling pumped, you can feel the adrenaline rush to help you go through tough times, complete your goals, work on the difficult tasks, and even boost your level of productivity to achieve more.
Think about it, I bet there are things that you’re afraid or scared to do, right? Like changing jobs or starting your own business or take a ride on the roller coaster.
The thing is that when you’re motivated, you feel more confident. And when you’re confident, you are more likely to venture out of your comfort zone and do the difficult things.
Thus, making you more successful.
5. Motivation is Contagious
You know that energy is contagious, right? Meaning, it can affect people. We all want to be around positive and energetic people. We don’t want to be around negative people who always blame others and complain.
This is why most people prefer to work in Google than a nobody-company because energy is contagious. People want to work in a fun, engaging, and worth-while workplace.
In other words, people prefer to work in a motivated environment. Nobody wants to work in a company where the culture involves a lot of back-stabbing and finger-pointing.
When you are motivated, you tend to attract better talent and people who shared similar visions as you.
In short, when you are driven and passionate, people will be affected and moved by your energy.
Think about extraordinary people who radiate great energy like Martin Luther King. King was able to move the entire crowd with his words because he was motivated and passionate.
6. Motivation Helps You Overcome Setbacks
Again, motivation can help you overcome setbacks and go through difficult times. When you are motivated, you have the energy and feel confident to bounce back.
However, things will be gleam if you lose your hope and motivation.
Imagine you have just failed at your business venture. When you are feeling down, you will never feel like you want to start another business again because the feeling of failure is still lingering in your head.
But when you are motivated, things will be totally different. When you feel pumped, even failure cannot stop you. You will feel driven and tell yourself that you have learned the lessons and became wiser now.
Therefore, you want to bounce back and start another business as soon as possible.
Can you see the difference? Success requires motivation.

7. Motivation Keeps You on Course
See yourself plan to lose weight and get back in shape. And after hitting the gym for the fourth time, you started to lose hope because you notice that you didn’t lose any weight on your body at all.
When this happens, many people tend to change their course. They either give up on their goal of losing weight, or they change their methods such as switching their exercising routine or diet plan.
Motivation keeps us on course. When you lack motivation and when you don’t see any result from your hard work, you will start to doubt yourself. And this is where you will go astray.
Think about how many people have started online businesses or started a sales career but fail to produce any significant success.
I have seen it times and times again, people just fail to stick to their plan because they lack motivation.
They started a blog, but after a few weeks when they don’t see any significant progress, they doubt themselves. They told themselves that blogging doesn’t work, or they will switch plans to start another online business. Sounds familiar?
If you want to stay on course, learn to maintain your level of motivation.
Can You Succeed Without Motivation?
I know, a lot of people have been wondering about this question. What do you think? Do you think that people can achieve great success without motivation?
In my opinion, I believe that this is NOT going to happen.
After going through all the reasons above, I bet by now, you should have a clear understanding of why motivation is important and how it can lead you to success.
I don’t think that people who have no motivation can achieve success. The reason is simple, really.
Just think about it, are you going to work harder without motivation? Will you put in 100% to make things work when you lack motivation?
The thing is that motivation says a lot about our characters. People who lack motivation will never treat their careers with passion.
Now, look at the way you treat your goals. (I hope you have goals. If you haven’t or you have no idea how goal setting works, enroll in Goal Setting Formula masterclass.)
Ask yourself, how do you treat your goals?
Do you feel excited about them? Or do you feel stress and pressure because you need to work on them and achieve them?
Successful people and people who are motivated feel excited every time when they talk about their dreams and their goals.
And more importantly, they are willing to go the extra mile to get things done, to deliver a better job, and to achieve greater success.
And people who lack motivation will NEVER do so. They treat their goals and dreams with the half-hearted approach. They do things for the sake of doing them. They are not passionate, and they don’t really care about the results.
And this is why motivation is important. This is how motivation can lead you to success.
