Motivation is something more complex of what can be seen at first sight. Sometimes, one feels naturally inclined, in good disposition and this is usually called motivation. But, motivation, really demands understanding and studying the subject further.
Self motivation means to develop a plan and to commit oneself to obtain defined and rightly established goals, to the point that we will understand, by example, that spiritual motivation is not simply the accomplishment and discovery of a dream, illusion and fantasy, but rather, the conscious taking of a Discipline.
Motivation begins with respect to the subject, with appreciation, admiration and recognition of Superior Goodness.  This will have to be developed day by day and  man always will have to give the best of himself.
How to find the necessary motivation to develop a loving and healthy life ? It is very certain that we all want
 and look for joy and happiness, nevertheless,  we often do very little to make this happen. We rather take an extremely passive attitude, to the point of becoming emotional vampires, in the sense, that we want everything but we do not want to give anything in return, then, we must know that nothing brings forth nothing, but, from our conscious and diligent effort will come many true reasons for a fulfilled life. The primordial motivation
for a loving life is based on something very simple and elementary since, reality is not a dream, reality is
 what we want to live. And every time, will happen what
  we will be able to accomplish, as a result of our dedication. If we have the right ambition when we set our goals and undertakings, then, motivation will be in proportion to our honesty, our quality of inner life and also
to the needs inherent in our deepest reasons, in the search for affection. Concluding then, that motivation and the search  for motivation, is a more intelligent, deeper and more personal act than self love, filial love  and spiritual love. How do I find motivation in my work ?
There is a primordial aspect in the integral structure of man, which is directly related to the goals and accomplishments reached in life. Man lives in a society
that becomes more competitive every new day and he knows in fact,  that in order to reach different levels
of security is necessary that he finds the right, correct and worthy means of satisfying all his material needs in his work, since the accomplishment that he wants to obtain as a result of his effort, dedication -and this is called work-  is transformed in compensation, which is a worthy product of his effort, giving place to the development of dignity and respect in a balanced being.   
Labor motivation comes from a much more complex content, because everything that we reach in our work, will become the security that we will contribute and repay like an integral and social good.  Man is an individual but he is also the society, the family and he is  through a good  constituted work, the principle of Progress and Peace.
