What Motivates Me...

In short: A HELL OF A LOT

Personally, motivation plays a MAJOR role in my life. Without motivation, my attempts at well...anything would be extremely half-hearted.

What motivates me:

1.God: The presence of The Almighty in my life motivates me daily to appreciate each day as a gift and life everyday as if Jesus died yesterday, rose today and is coming to take us to heaven tomorrow. No matter how dull or dark a situation may seem in my life, I can always close my eyes, pray to The Lord and be motivated to face each daunting task head-on.

2.Potential: When I see potential in a situation or person I feel extremely motivated to push that situation/person to the limits.

3. DOUBT: When people doubt that I have the potential or needed skills to perform a certain task, I am more motivated than EVER to prove them wrong and do the task even better than expected.

4. Belief: People who believe in me, motivates me to be even better, and to do even more in the fear of disappointing them and letting them down.

On a lighter note, what motivates me...

5. $ Money $ : However vain it may sound, if the price is right I will make it work!

6. Good Food: With a tummy full of good food, I feel more motivated and willing to take on any situation or anything.

7. Sports: Watching a good game of Western Province, or Springbok rugby or by simply playing a game of netball, really motivates me to be even more passionate, enthusiastic, patriotic and to be fearless in whatever I take on

8. Music: Nothing amps me up more for a night on the town than a feel-good song, which at the moment is Black Eyed Peas, Tonight’s gonna be a good night...

9. HOT BODDIES: When I look at magazines or TV shows where Jessica Alba is featured in her bikini, I feel more motivated (and depressed in a sense) to hit the gym and train until I feel like I am about to throw-up!!

Motivation is important, without any motivation, how would you feel enthusiastic and passionate about a certain situation,task or person??

Personal Autonomy

Your personal autonomy refers to your right to be self determining and your right to choose how you live your life. I believe that personal autonomy is vital for your personal growth.

As an individual I believe that one should embrace your personal autonomy in order to "know" yourself and learn from your own experiences. If you are not self determining and have no way of expressing your feelings, opinions and beliefs, how would you ever be seen as an individual? I know that each individual strives to be unique, to be different in some or other way..this is what makes you, you!

Bearnice Johnson Reagon said that life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are. This statement rings very true when thinking about your personal autonomy and your personal growth. Taking charge of your personal autonomy and living life to the fullest, will ultimately make you the person and individual you are .Life’s experiences, and the mistakes you make during the course of life, will shape the perceptions and outlook you have on life, your personality and relationships and ultimately shape your being.
