Self motivation leads to success
Self motivation is important to achieving goals without external influence by improving confidence and self-esteem. Maslow's hierarchy of needs shows that as lower level needs are met, motivation increases to achieve higher level growth needs. Effective goal setting includes writing goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to provide focus and direction. Maintaining a positive attitude, avoiding procrastination, persisting through challenges, and rewarding accomplishments are keys to self motivation.
