The Motivation – Success Link Finding motivation through real honesty Better to be motivated by Growth than Need The KEY to success is staying motivated – Remind yourself WHY. Always. Everyday. Success builds confidence. Confidence causes success. It’s a cycle. Once you succeed, you want to succeed again.

Motivation & Rewards Knowing there is payoff helps maintain motivation Rewards are subjective. Everyone’s incentive is different. Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic reward: Inner/personal satisfaction vs. monetary or tangible award. Rewards should link to our motivation. “…all I got was this t-shirt. But that was everything !” - Dr. John Shively on his first ‘Iron Man’ completion

Goals Success is reached by achieving goals. Find your motivation. Then set goal. Why do I want to do this? Set realistic goals. Consider lifestyle, time constraints, means, etc. Helps to set smaller goals within the larger goal. Baby steps! If at first you don’t succeed, do NOT give up! Set a smaller goal, try again.

Be the Best You Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Need (1948)

Self-Actualization Occurs when basic needs are met Desire for self-fulfillment; reaching full potential Life is a journey, not a destination Discovery and a need for growth is present throughout a person’s life. Marked by high sense of morality, reality, honesty Actualization will vary among people, based on unique desires, motivation, purpose Can be defined by culture, spirituality

The Importance of Giving Back Part of actualization and purpose is a willingness and ability to help others – Altruism* Volunteering benefits both ourselves and our communities Brings a sense of worth and belonging Gives us perspective, insight Link between volunteering and health
