To understand motivational force, we must first agree that force is an influence that produces a change on an object and motivation also is an influence that helps people to make the move or to be in motion.
Let's look at few things about making the move toward achieving progress. I believe we all agree that motivation involves
energy and we must use the energy, which is our ability or capacity to
apply forces for movement. So therefore, if we have to
be motivated or we want to motivate people, we have to apply the force
that will move them from where they are to where they ought to be.
I will not agree less with the great physician, Isaac Newton,
who stated his second law of motion as this: "The change of momentum of a
body is proportional to the impulse impressed on the body, and happens
along the straight line on which that impulse in impressed".
Simply put,
it means that if a force generates a motion, then a double force will
generate double the motion and so on.
If you've ever been beside a pregnant woman when she's in labour, you would agree with me that she's an expectant woman but at the same time, she's in pain trying to deliver the baby. And because of the pain, there's need for her to encourage herself to forcefully look beyond the pain and just deliver the baby. You will also notice that the word 'PUSH' is repeatedly mentioned by the people in the delivery room and this is meant to serve as an external 'Motivation force' that would make her apply more energy to birth the baby. On the other hand, we would observe that there's little or no such thing as an external 'Motivational force' for most of the animals when they're trying to deliver their babies, because their fellow animals may not know how best to motivate them at this stage; so these pregnant animal will perpetually have to remind themselves to make use of their internal 'Motivation force', in order to deliver their babies safely.
We would also understand from the above illustration that the process of applying motivational forces to deliver the babies by bo human beings and animals is not just a physical process but a mental process. It must penetrate into their inside and its effect would be seen or felt on the outside.
One of the greatest psychologists, Abraham Maslow used this word 'MetaMotivation' to describe the way that self-actualized people motivate themselves with innate forces beyond their basic needs, in other to go extra-mile beyond the ordinary people.In his book 'Hierarchy of needs', Maslow also explained his 'Motivation theory' that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and certain lower factors need to be satisfied before higher needs can be satisfied.
It is believed that motion is a
change of state and behind any motion for achievement, there must be a force; which means that every change of state will have to
involve motion and must be backed up by motivation force.
We can now conclude by saying that the motion towards satisfying our needs or achieving our goals in life can be enhanced or improved by effective motivation and the motivational force behind this motion is mentality coordinated and not physical; hence the reason why we have to merge our internal motivational force with external motivational force to deliver great achievements.
Be motivated for greatness!!!
