Motivation

These days I think a lot about motivation in life. What keeps people engaged in their lives?

I find a section of people very much attached to god. They find god in everything they do. God takes part in every decision of theirs. ‘Money’, yes the need of Kalyug as what they say, keeps a good percentage of people occupied in their lives. These people simply do think that money is only thing that can help them sail their lives. ‘Money’ is something that they can kill somebody for. Few people are drug addicts and thus do not see life beyond that. For them, life is contained in the bottle and puff that they inhale. Then, I see lot of young minds hungry to do something good for the society. Budding politicians are social entrepreneurs belong to this pool. They always act in a manner which can help others.

Looking at the motivation drive , I see good number of people self-motivated to achieve big things in life. They set high standards of life and really work very very hard for them. These people do not sway much in life and remain focused throughout their lives. There are other types of people who are keen to get motivated but needs good bit of mentoring and counseling. Such people do not know themselves well. They would always ask others to review their thought process. These people like stretching themselves to achieve their goals in life. Then there is a category of people who are always demotivated and also do not very positive towards their life.  They make hell out of their lives and never let others enjoy too.

This takes me to the discussion of real purpose of life which is a very subjective topic. Let me hear this from you, what is your purpose and what keeps you motivated?
