Motivation in My Life

Explaining the motivation in my life is pretty simple. I am in the university transfer program to achieve some of my life goals. My goal that can be achieved by completing this program is graduating from Trent University with my degree in psychology as well as teaching. I have personal and internal motivation but I also have lots of external motivation from my loved ones. Most of my motivation is incentive based (being a university graduate and eventually getting a teaching job) but I believe I am also satisfying my hierarchy of needs. Abraham Maslow devised that we have many needs and they need to be fulfilled in a specific order, so he developed the hierarchy of needs. As he stated, each level must be satisfied before we can move to the next. Having money to buy food and drinks fulfills my biological needs, living in a house to physically protect me and not having to fear my for my safety fulfill my safety needs, having friends and family who love me and who I love back fulfill my attachment needs, liking and believing in myself fulfill my esteem needs and having all of these needs fulfilled allow me to live to my full potential, fulfilling my self- actualization needs. All of this combined will help me achieve all my life goals. Completing this project is just getting me one step closer to my goal!





I hope you enjoyed motivation in my life.
