The Virus of Low Motivation

The other 'fuel' of self development process beside willingness is motivation. Beware, low motivation could impact on the stagnation of self development. Motivation itself is categorized into two types, internal and external. Internal motivation has more crucial function for self improvement.

One of the main indicators which could be seen from someone who has low (internal) motivation is that person usually does anything not seriously. Sometimes, they do not look sincere on what they have done. Even, they do not focus enough on what they do, as a result, they lack goal orientation. Almost all activities they do are not set into feasible target orientation.



a. Remember, it would be not fair for us if our efforts need extra resources just to collect a poor achievement. Imagine that we already lose by using our productive periods on unproductive works. Imagine on how much money already spent resulting in those bad results. Imagine how stressed we are. So, could you realize that our condition is actually a critical situation? It will need more intensive care and extra cost, wont it?
b. We could also come into our entrapment itself. It might happen when we have success and perhaps it is the best achievement in our environment. I call it a "Winning Syndrome". A kind of manner which might appear when someone feels overexcited and oversatisfied when he/she has been a winner, at the condition when he/she feels that he/she does not need to work hard to reach that.
c. The lazy behavior is one explicit form of low motivation. It could be built by one’s own personality and mindset, even might also as an accumulation of some visions which resulting in a conclusion that 'Not everybody, even most of us, does not get a good appreciation when we show our best performance.' So, based on this opinion, some people feel that they do not need to enforce themselves to show their best performance..
