Self-motivation

To survive, humans must be motivated to find food, obtain water, and seek shelter. These are basic biological survival requirements that almost all people are motivated to fulfill. What about people who are motivated to sky-dive or mountain climb? The majority of people are not motivated to fulfill these desires – they have a different motivation pattern. Also, with few people attaining a measure of self-actualization (the highest level on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), one can conclude that many people are at less than maximum psychological adjustment, even if all their basic needs are met. People are often not aware of why they may be motivated to do things. Their unconscious thoughts direct them to activities that may fit with their view of reality even if they cannot state what these views are.
