Word of the Day - MOTIVATION

Writer's picture: Tanesha S. WindomTanesha S. Windom

Updated: Aug 9, 2022

The Word of the Day is MOTIVATION. What motivates you? Are you self-motivated? Why does it seem that young people are not as motivated to be proactive, take initiative, to take the lead, and to be responsible for creating successful futures? How can youth find, maintain, and increase their motivation? Here are some of my thoughts:

Motivational Mentoring/Coaching

Life Skills Training

Identifying Purpose

Access to tools and resources

Prayer and Meditation

Surrounding yourself with Motivational people

Motivational Messages

Hobbies/Extra-curricular activities

Doing what you ❤️

Healthy Diet & Exercise

"Get Moving"

What motivates me is life is life because yea its sad to die but it’s a miracle to live. Like to many people take things like life for granted until a life is lost

achieving my goals and being the best is what motivates me, i’m very self-motivated. Young people are motivated.their motivation just comes in different ways than other peoples but it’s harder for young people to show that they’re motivated. to increase their motivation try seeing things from their perspective, ask them about things they are interested in becoming when they’re older, find programs about what they are interesting that they can join.

Like Aliyah and Morgan said money motivates me, but honestly the thought of achieving something also motivates me too! If I start something then I want to go all the way through because if I don’t then I will feel like I have failed myself because I didn’t do what i was supposed to do.

am i self motivated? no Unless it benefits me. The only only thing that motivates me is money. Young people are not as motivated because people dont have things that appeal to them . What some people don't fail to to realize that not everyone cares about grades and school and its not enough to make someone happy.
