What do you do when you need motivation?
There are so many reasons why things are done or should I rather say reasons why people are being motivated. It sometimes comes as a result of direct benefits, sometimes as a benefit to people around us and sometimes as a result of proving people wrong, showing how strong and resilient you can be in terms of somethings seen as impossible in one's life. So, at some point one uses mockery as motivation just to prove to people around that you can actually do it.
Sometimes it comes in the form of incentives. A little of funds and gifts can do the magic of keeping someone up on his or her toes, someone who wants to do more or even better can be encouraged with little gifts.
The question asks “What will I do when I need motivation?”

What makes me want to do better is my past. I have always grown to know that growth has to do with strategies, like you don't just grow overnight. There are strategic steps to this path and one can not cut these processes as every point in life has a testing tool to test how well you can handle that stage.
Failure at some point simply because you couldn't handle a stage of life will throw you backwards to that point where it needs to be learnt. So it's good every step and process is followed meticulously so as to avoid front and back movement in the process of growth.
I sit and carefully examine my past so as to know if there are any lapses in the previous years. That's my form of motivation. If there is any, I try as much as possible to keep me going and it keeps me motivated.
I look at the future and the quest to do better than I have done is what motivates me into becoming a better version of myself.
I am f*cking scared of failing. The fear of failing also keeps me motivated into doing great.
I came to realize that success if not backed up by substantial motivation can bring one down to the foundational level of his life and that won't be a good one.
I have seen people who help people get to a great level in life but they themselves fell from the top. This is as a result of lack of motivation they see themselves as fulfilled already and never looked onto anything that would have helped keep their fire burning so they slowly and gradually watch their fire light up other people but then failure to maintain the process made them lose their own fire.
I always want to do better than what I used to be and that's my major source of motivation. I don't want yesterday to be better than today or even tomorrow.
My yesterday must remain good and my today better making tomorrow the best.
Tomorrow must always be the best compared to today and yesterday.
I look back and then get motivated to keep going. If I was able to do it yesterday then I should do it better today.
