Self Motivation - To win the game

There are many motivation theory devised by many scholars and i sometime wonder can we really implement those in real life and if yes then to what extent and if no then why not. Personally i feel, with due respect to all the theories, that we cannot motivate people. All we can do is to influence them or tempt them. If motivation theory would have been the truth then those revolutionist inside the jail during Indian independence or during Rana regime in Nepal who went for hunger strike or negatively motivated through torture would have easily surrendered.

All the external motivation technique applied have limited scope but if the motivation is internal or is self motivated then nothing can stop the energy and person would be even ready to sacrifice his/her life.
Untill a person does not acknowledge that he want to accept what is being offered, no motivation happens . Motivation is the self decision but not imposed.

Self motivation is something that touches your self and comes from very basic level of existence. I feel this is the key to win the game.

Employee at Taj during terrorist attack were self motivated to serve their customer even risking their life and some even died. This level of motivation is not external but is internal is comes from self. Its hard to understand other's self motivation but all we need to do is understand our self motivation and carry on with it. This will help us to win every game of our life after that.
