Motivation is very important to move forward in life. You must be getting motivated seeing others, seeing some movies, listening to others, reading books etc. If you are very fortunate then there can be someone who is motivating you all the time.

During your growing years you must be getting motivated by many things.Now when you are grown up you must be knowing what motivates you. If you do not know yet then it means you have not paid enough attention to it. If you pay attention you will be able to find out what subjects motivate you. It is very important to know yourself very well that what keeps you motivated.
 
Now what will happen if there is no external factors to motivate you? Is self motivation possible? Yes, it is very much possible. Instead of looking outside for source of motivation, you can turn inwards and motivate yourself. You can remind yourself of your past success. You can remind yourself how you overcame your challenges in the past. You can also visualize how beautiful your future will be once you cross the current hurdle. You can visualize that you are solving all your issues yourself and coming out victorious.

You must visualize yourself strong and confident by showing yourself an image of yours from past or future. You can add motivating words to it and say positive affirmations to yourself. You must say to yourself "I am doing", "I am strong" and "I am confident".
