Each of us has a different source for motivation. Some are motivated by respect, some are motivated by money, some are motivated by possessions, and above all is the motivation of love.
Love can be the strongest motivation of all.
You can have self-love and love with another person.
When you are loved by somebody and you love them, you want them to have the same feeling that you have.
If you feel content, you want them to feel content.
If you feel happy, you wish them to feel happy.
The motivation of love is incredibly powerful.
There are so many different types of love.
There is the love of a child to a parent. We have all seen and experienced the cry of a young child when the parent leaves even for a short while.
The is the love of a parent to the child. How typical is the guilt of a mother when she leaves her child for the first time with a baby sitter to go see a movie with her spouse. The child cries at the door, while the mother is going for a simple pleasure. This love mixed with guilt that the mother feels is a powerful emotion. Many a mother has sacrificed their own happiness and relationships because of that love. On the other hand, many a parent has achieved amazing results because of the love for their children. That love has turned into a motivation to achieve and provide for their children.
This is the bigger motivation. Its the reason to get up every morning. Its the reason to put up with difficult people, its the reason why dreams are put on hold.The love of a spouse is one of the greatest motivator in the world.
Many a person has achieved greatness because of a spouse. When the spouse believes in you, it seems that there is nothing that can stop you.
Dr. Maxwell Maltz in Psycho-Cybernetics describes the challenge most of face. He describes two boxes. One box inside the other box. The outer box is what we are actually capable of and the inner box is what we believe our selves capable of doing.
The outer box is the most important box. Most of us have no understanding or belief that that box exists. The outer box is scary while at the same time its the box of excitement. The outer box is the box of goals. The outer box is the box of dreams.
The loving spouse see the outer box, not the inner box. The loving spouse identifies the ways and means of getting a person to reach the outer box. The loving spouse will take you to the outer box.
This is the perfect world. But, as we know we don’t live in the perfect world.
We have a spouse we love, but s/he have their own "isssues". We also have spouses who are disappointed in us. We are not the "perfect spouse" so why do we expect perfection from them?
We have children we love.We have children who are great, but are sometimes difficult.
We have bosses who are supportive and bosses who are demanding of things we can’t deliver.
We have customers who choose our products and understand what they can and can’t do, we have customers who purchase our products with not understanding what they have gotten.
We have parents who are loving and we have parents that are demanding.
We have we buy and we have bills to pay.
We are not perfect by any means and many of the people and things we deal with daily don’t work they way we expected them to.

And what about people who don’t have "the perfect spouse"? What about those of us divorced?

I currently have books open in the bathroom from people like Tom Hopkins, Zig Ziglar, and Stephen Covey.
I teach a class in running, they depend on me to be their to motivate and guide them. This motivates me to want to help them. My current class started a Learn to Run last fall.
