Finding Motivation

 Motivation pushes us to strive for success, accept new paths, and face new life challenges. When properly motivated, the ordinary person will go above and beyond to do extraordinary things. 

What Is Motivation?


Motivation can be defined as the reasoning behind our actions. Why we work, why we play, why we get out of bed every morning, every action has motivation behind it.

On YouTube, the channel GreggU defines motivation in his own words, and shows how good motivation can create good leaders and advocates.
