What is the best source of motivation?

Answer 1

The strongest source of motivation although not the best, is the need to survive. There are other sources like desire, wishes, dreams, fantasies, wanting to please somebody, being under the influence of an authority, being threatened, fear, hate, etc. but these of course are not the best sources.
The best source of motivation is ones understanding. Realizing the need for something to do, because of an appearing situation or condition. The basic step will be to understand oneself through self-knowledge, what means to be aware of ones condition and also ones unconscious background conditioning. Then it will be possible to relate to a situation in a more objective way and not just out of ones personal needs. In this state of understanding responsibility is the source of motivation and allows to make clear decisions with strong enough energy to act, not being distracted by insecurity coming from unconscious influences when encountering difficulties in ones action.
Connected with the realization of awareness of oneself and as the most subtle state of realization and motivation is *love*. This without doubt is the best source of motivation and also the strongest.
