Answer 1

The will to do things that you want are easy. It's the will to do the things you need that require tact or even a certain "trickery" for ourselves to develop an enthusiasm. This is truly one of the secrets of life. We tend to look for immediate gratification over fulfilling our obligations for what's best for our lives. We trick ourselves into thinking that all the potentials for stuff to go wrong in what we try, leave us helpless and apathetic. So... trick yourself into thinking that you can succeed instead. Our imaginations are perhaps our greatest give or our worst enemy.

Answer 2

I believe it has allot to do with an individuals sense of self preservation versus perseverance. Along with ,choosing to go for what what they may really want out of life. Even if we think we know the answer to that question, it is often subject to change, just by experiencing and learning. In other words, Maybe I don't want to shift mountains, but only to rescue a horse.

Finding your passions, and acting on them, even if it is to learn that it isn't what you wanted to do after all. Being willing to do whatever it takes within you to succeed in an endeavor, and making it MATTER enough to prepare, and endure the labor, as if it was your labor of love.

I believe that motivation and willpower are within all of us, if we CHOOSE to seek it, make it MATTER more than anything else, and ENDURE it's lessons of failures or achievements, without quitting. I suppose the only way to actually find ones motivation, is to choose looking for it, by way of finding your passions. The passions that give you that energy of willpower, and desire to achieve.

We must WANT to achieve our passions in life, before we can motivate ourselves to endure the journey. As they say, "if it isn't a labor of love, it just becomes labor."

Answer 3

To have motivation, you need something or someone to believe in. If you believe or have faith in something, it will be your motivation. In my experiences some people need a little more motivation from others to have their own personal motivation.
