Motivation Defined

Here's what I came up with.

The definition of motivation is: "The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way," or rephrased, " The general desire or willingness of someone to do something."

Motivation is your desire and willingness to do something and to keep doing something. We need it to embark on creative projects, get in shape, make that phone call we've been dreading, and resist the extra glass of wine at dinner. Without sufficient motivation, none of these desires translate into action.
