In successful people, motivation is the main driving force. Psychologists and neuro-specialists have different opinions based on their research findings. But all of them unanimously agree to the one generic definition of motivation, which is a mental state that stimulates the behavior and arouses goal-oriented desire in the human mind. Theories developed by psychoanalysts support the fact that the dose of daily motivation in an individual’s life is very necessary for him to excel in his profession and also maintain a good harmony with his surroundings.

The success stories of many millionaires, like advertising godfather David Ogilvy and the famous American industrialist Lee Iacocca is the witness to the fact that had they not got inspiration and motivation in their daily lives they would have not have ascended the stairs of success.

There are various sociobiological theories of motivation which say that humans have four basic needs. The first one is the ability to register the images of the objects and experiences, the second one is the strong bond of long-term relationships based on love, care and commitment, the third one involves a higher understanding to learn about the things happening around us, and the fourth one is the climax of highly evolved personalities who know when to defend themselves and their loved ones from any kind of mental or emotional harm. These theories strongly advocate that for continuous personality development, these basic needs have to be fulfilled.

The concept of emotional intelligence, popularized by the famous author Daniel Goleman, suggests that a person may be highly intelligent yet unmotivated to dedicate this intelligence to many tasks which he is doing.

Today in the United States of America, in the corporate sector, there is an increasing demand for motivational trainers and psychological counselors. Employees and employers need daily motivation to keep them going and help them increase the productivity and quality of their work.

How to Stay Motivated Despite Negative People Getting motivated is sometimes easy enough to do, at least for short periods of time, but staying motivated can be a lot harder to do. And when you add into the mix the presence of negative people it is really not surprising that your motivation can fizzle out despite your best intentions. What can you do? 1. Do Not Discuss Your Dreams with Negative People Only share your hopes, dreams and goals with people who will be supportive of your plans. Making your dreams come true is like tending to a garden. You have to give the plants the nutrients, water and sunlight they need to grow i.e. for you this means - the resources, mental focus and energy to create something new. And you have to pay constant attention to weeding and eradicating bugs that will over run your garden if you are not vigilant. i.e. protect your dreams from negative people by not exposing your plans to their toxic words and thoughts. 2. When You Get Stuck Seek Advice from People Who Can Help Very often when you get stuck you will turn to whoever is nearby for encouragement and advice. This can be a big mistake if that person has no vision and a limited sense of possibility. Only ask for advice from people who are qualified to help you. When you act on good advice you know you are doing the right things and staying motivated will be easy. Whereas when someone with no relevant knowledge or no sense of possibility advises you it makes sense to be unmotivated. Why take action on bad advice? Why even try if that person cannot see things working out? Avoid this negative world view by carefully deciding who to get advice from. 3. Switch Off Your Own Negative Thoughts Negative thoughts can be like a virus that just keeps on spreading. If people around you are negative...
