The other day, I was shopping and came upon a display of underwear just piled up on a table under a sign that read SLIGHTLY IRREGULAR.

It happens to the best of us: we have a job to do, we get ready to do it… in some cases, even starting it… and then we get a phone call. Or our favorite show comes on. Or someone knocks on the door.

Motivation is what makes us act rnMotivation is an important aspect of our lives. In fact we could say that there is hardly anything that we think, say or do without a particular reason or goal, without a particular and subjective answer to the question "Why?"

Motivation is always in the background even when

Often times, persons blame others for their own feelings. We do shift the responsibility of how we are feeling to others. We all say things like “She made me mad.” “She hurt me.” “He freaked me out.” “He makes me unhappy.” “He makes me feel bad about myself.” These kinds of comment imply that we have no choice in how we feel and that others have control over us. In the real sense, we have control – they don’t. Feelings can be strong and surge up quickly, so it’s easy to think the other person is responsible, but that isn’t true.
