Definition of Motivation.
The definition of motivation is to give reason, incentive, enthusiasm, or interest that causes a specific action or certain behavior. Motivation is present in every life function. Simple acts such as eating are motivated by hunger. Education is motivated by desire for knowledge. Motivators can be anything from reward to coercion.
There are two main kinds of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is internal. It occurs when people are compelled to do something out of pleasure, importance, or desire. Extrinsic motivation occurs when external factors compel the person to do something. However, there are many theories and labels that serve as sub tittles to the definition of motivation. For example: "I will give you a candy bar if you clean your room." This is an example of reward motivation.
A common place that we see the need to apply motivation, is in the work place. In the work force, we can see motivation play a key role in leadership success. A person unable to grasp motivation and apply it, will not become or stay a leader. It is critical that anyone seeking to lead or motivate understand "Howletts Hierarchy of Work Motivators."
Salary, benefits, working conditions, supervision, policy, safety, security, affiliation, and relationships are all externally motivated needs. These are the first three levels of "Howletts Hierarchy" When these needs are achieved, the person moves up to level four and then five. However, if levels one through three are not met, the person becomes dissatisfied with their job. When satisfaction is not found, the person becomes less productive and eventually quits or is fired. Achievement, advancement, recognition, growth, responsibility, and job nature are internal motivators. These are the last two levels of "Howletts Hierarchy." They occur when the person motivates themselves (after external motivation needs are met.) An employer or leader that meets the needs on the "Howletts Hierarchy" will see motivated employees and see productivity increase. Understanding the definition of motivation, and then applying it, is one of the most prevalent challenges facing employers and supervisors. Companies often spend thousands of dollars each year hiring outside firms just to give motivation seminars.
Another place motivation plays a key role is in education. A teacher that implements motivational techniques will see an increased participation, effort, and higher grades. Part of the teachers job is to provide an environment that is motivationally charged. This environment accounts for students who lack their own internal motivation. One of the first places people begin to set goals for themselves is in school. Ask any adult: "What is the main thing that motivates you." Their answer will most likely be goals. Even the simplest things in life are the result of goal setting. A person may say, "I want to save 300.00 for a new T.V." Well, that is a goal. School is where we are most likely to learn the correlation between goals, and the definition of motivation. That correlation is what breeds success.
So, as you can see, motivation is what propels life. It plays a major role in nearly everything we do. Without motivation, we would simply not care about outcomes, means, accomplishment, education, success, failure, employment, etc.. Then, what would be the point?

What Happened to Your Dreams?
A long time ago, when you were full of vigor, you had a lot of dreams. You dreamt of big and grandiose things, of being rich and famous, of going places, of having your name as well-known as your favorite pretzels; of conquering the world.
What happened to your dreams?
"Well," you might say, "they have gone the way most youthful dreams go - buried and forgotten."
Yes, years and adulthood have a way of transforming our youthful idealisms and fantasies into realities that we are often not prepared to handle, of making life so overwhelming we can hardly keep our noses above water.
When we become adults, our dreams give way to new priorities, new responsibilities, different set of problems and concerns, of starting a family and many more. We get out from the comfortable life-support from parents and begin to live our own lives, earn our own keep and lay down the blueprint for the future.
It is the time, supposedly, when we ask ourselves the question, "What will I do with my life?"
As simple and straightforward this may be, a lot of young people, rather than meet it head on, skirt around it or avoid it altogether for two reasons:
First: They don't take life too seriously until later when it is already too late;
Second: They think it is self-indulgence to be so engrossed with self or career.
Consequently, they miss the opportunity of laying down the foundations of a happy, successful and meaningful life. Not only have they abandoned their youthful dreams, they have succumbed to the allure of things that are within reach and easy for the taking. They embrace the fast food mentality.
There are so many young people these days toiling at jobs they hate. Too many smart, educated and talented young people working at half their potential at jobs they are just tolerating, not loving. They have put their dreams on hold in exchange for more money, a bigger house, a fancy car, private schools for the children, and many other worldly things that are not relevant to what a happy and successful life is.
This is rather tragic because we currently live in a world full of choices. We need not tolerate jobs we hate. We can choose careers that can both satisfy our material needs and our core values, our dreams. All you need to do is decide what to devote your life on and then pursue it.
But making that decision is impossible if you avoid confronting the fundamental question of "What will I do with my life?"
The answer to that question is best expressed by Card Sandberg who said,
"Nothing happens unless first a dream."
To know what to do with your life, you must get out of your shell of complacency and confront your fears. Get to know yourself, your values, the things you love to do, and your strengths and weaknesses. Then decide on pursuing them until you have them in your hands to see, to touch, to feel, to be proud of and be exceedingly joyful with.
You have to dream dreams again.
Real success can only be achieved by unleashing your productive, creative and focused energy from within at something you love doing.
Doing something you love doing is liberating because it rids you of the burden of doing something with no relevance to your values, your dreams, on what you deem important. It removes the dreariness of life, replacing it with vigor and enthusiasm knowing that at the end of the day, you have lived a meaningful life.
A lot of people are scared of living out their dreams for fear of not being able to live in abundance; to perpetually try to make both ends meet. They take living out their dreams as a form of self-denial. But a meaningful life is not of abundance but of living within your means. It is not wishing what others have but to be content with what you have, or to keep on reaching for things too far out to reach but to slowly and steadfastly gather those you easily can.
This is not coping out on life. Living out your dreams is to pursue happiness and success based on your core values, your inborn talent and your innate skills. It is pushing yourself to the limit on things you love to do, not of what others want you to do. It is being YOU.
Again, this may sound too far out or radical. But people always gravitate to what they desire most in life - happiness and success. Soon, you will want to get out of the prison you unwittingly put yourself into. You will look for ways to break out, to be free.
Do it now while you can.

How to Stay Focused For Successs
Staying focused on any one task to completion is often easier said than done especially when there seems to be a thousand and one distractions hurling at you from every direction on the compass.
Some days, the easiest of tasks can often appear to be overwhelming when the tiniest of things can take your concentration. Distractions are inevitable that is the nature of life and if we did not have those little things to distract us life would actually become quite boring. Achieving your goals is very important but so is enjoying the journey.
We all know though, that in reality it really does take focus and concentration to complete a job and do it well, whether it is a job at work, at home or even as part of your hobby. To achieve success in what you are doing requires focus, dedication and a hunger that will drive you across the finish line.
Focus requires you to become organised and ambitious. These two characteristics are essential for your success.
When you are determined to achieve what you want one of the first areas you need to look at is your organisation. You need to literally set the required amount of time aside to do what you need to do. Many people use the excuse of lack of time, this is a cop out. If something is important to you you will find the time. This is where your organisation skills are put to the test. The 3 below are a great way to get organised and get you focused on your goal:
Always, and I mean always keep your eye on the prize. Remind yourself constantly of how great it will be when you achieve what you set out to do.
When you are ambitious, organised and you work for what you want, success will come.

- Write down exactly what it is you are aiming to achieve. Write down the how in as much detail as you can and then break it down into small steps. Each time you accomplish one of the smaller steps you are taking yourself closer and closer to your goal.
- On your list put deadlines to make sure you achieve the small steps by certain times or dates. This holds you accountable. Making it time bound and realistic. Creating these deadlines will prevent you from making excuses and putting tasks off for later.
- Each and everyday put aside time to work on these goals. If it means getting up a half hour earlier then do it. The only person responsible for your success is you.
Always, and I mean always keep your eye on the prize. Remind yourself constantly of how great it will be when you achieve what you set out to do.
When you are ambitious, organised and you work for what you want, success will come.
Time waits for nobody and if you wait too long, your dreams and goals will become a what if?

Personal Development Tools - Time Management
Time management requires a structured mind. This will allow you to plan and organize things properly. It also requires that you have the willpower to go through with the schedules you have set for yourself. As part of your arsenal of personal development tools, it will require that you have:
Materials needed for effective time management are clocks and watches, alarm clocks, an appointment book or organizer, a calendar, pen and paper, and recently there has arisen the option of a computer with time management software installed.
This method for structure and organization is essential for a personal development plan, wherein the other personal development tools that are used aside from time management are
A personal development plan is a means of self transformation, where there exists much material about methods, techniques, workshops, books, and programs devoted to the idea. This phrase is present in the fields of psychology, education, philosophy, and it is also a common phrase in the workplace. As it is, a personal development plan is not necessarily limited to these disciplines. The tools and methods are adaptable and can be applied to anything you can think of at all. These can be learned through reading self help books, by attending lectures and workshops, by listening to speakers who have mastered the techniques, and then by practicing what you have learned in your daily life.
Methods for time management are especially useful for procrastinators, to help in maximizing their own time to achieve set goals. But taken as a whole, the personal development plan can be of help in goals such as developing innate talents, developing personal potential, improving ones self-knowledge and sense of identity, realizing one's life dreams, achieving one's aspirations, bettering one's quality of life, and such other goals. It is said to also influence the thoughts and actions of others in one's surroundings. This is through the power of positive thinking. Methods that are purported to achieve this are distinct from the methods of time management, planning, and measuring of progress; all of which is mostly done in the physical world. There are also personal development tools that are to be used in the realm of thought and imagination. These are the methods of creative visualization, self affirmation, and auto suggestion, all of which are done with the power of the mind. These are the methods that are said to influence physical reality as well as the self. The aim is to focus these thoughts on a positive goal.
- A set goal. This could be anything from getting rich to achieving inner peace, to specific or immediate goals such as finishing a task for the day.
- An action plan. This is the breakdown of the main goal into easily achievable projects.
- A timetable. This will help you to schedule each step of the project, as well as to prioritize each project in the main goal you have set for yourself.

The Mozart Effect
Inside The Mozart Effect
The Mozart Effect came about thanks to Dr Alfred Tomatis' research. He annalyzed the effects of Mozart's music on children who suffer from communication and speech disorders.
Thanks to Dr Tomatis' findings the term Mozart effect was coined; in it's basic description it signifies the transformational power of music in education, well being and health.
Since the Mozart effect became known as a special method to deal with cognitive education for small children and those who suffer from disorders such as dislexia, autism, ADD, mental disorders, listening disorders, injuries and physical disorders much has been said about the term.
To-date the acedemic world is torn between results of the research that has gone into the results of the Mozart effect since it's inception. While some researchers found it to be based on truth, others dismissed it as hearsay after doing extensive testing themselves. You'll learn more about either side of this arguement within the scope of this ebook which you can download in full at the link below:
