Motivation is caused behavior, it is not something someone gives to another. Case in point is my daughter Felicia who has been very active in local theater, dance and vocal for many years. Tonight was a culmination of sorts when she was awarded a full scholarship for the coming year with her theater group. The traits are clear and obvious: the person is passionate and lives/breathes the activity and behaviors required to be successful; the person rubs unto others through their enthusiastic and positive attitude; the group's outcomes are improved due to the enhanced effort by all.
I believe all people wish to be successful, some have an innate ability to figure it out on their own and do so, the remainder simply need to be shown how. However, it has become very clear to me that some people simply do not want to work hard enough to achieve their goal or potential. Even the most holistic teams can not attain their potential with these sort of individuals, regardless of their intelligence or know-how. We are each responsible for how successful our lives become and ultimately our lives.
It is what it is.
