Motivational psychology and a meaningful life

To motivate oneself, there are many approaches. Self-motivation or self-driven attitude is the best option. One should analyse various options for which one should devote time and work. We should be allot 8-10 hours a day for professional work which will bring some good amount of money for sustaining the family life. Some additional 3-4 hours can be devoted to professional work involving some strong skills so that some money could be saved for the hard times of life. Hence, out of 24 hours we should be able to devote about 14 hours of time which can earn some good amount of money part of which should be used in helping others in need. A completely self-centered life is the life of an animal only. All these activities should go on so as to live a balanced and peaceful life. Motivation should come from within ourselves. In certain cases we can take help from our fellow beings who can find a solution to our level of motivation for work. To sustain the works we do, we should try to network with right kind of people who are also professionally engaged in some honest venture. We must remind ourselves everymorning that LIFE IS WORK. We should not stop working and we should lead a time-conscious life. Personally I have understood the value of time in later life. The waste of time,energy,money and some blunders in professional service including decision-making landed me in great troubles and sufferings in this part of my life. Now I try to work as consistently as possible. Even in our profession we should try to go on building our skills so that some alternative options are available for us. Knowledge, technical skills and communication skills are never-ending processes. Hence with sufficient self-confidence, one must continue to improve on a daily basis. Everyday, we should improve upon our past states in these fields which would reflect our preparedness for facing professional challenges. Therefore we must build up Knowledge,Technical & Communication Skills(KTCS) on a daily basis. Majority of the inputs for such skill-building will come free from our surroundings and people directly and only occasionally we should consult literature on the subject so that we adopt in our lives , the Philosophy of Continual Learning(PCL). PCL will lead us to success,prosperity,happiness and peace.
