Learning And Motivation

Written By Colēgia

Motivation can provide us with the drive to accomplish the things that matter to us. Learning also ties into this since when used properly we can do both at the same time. Today we want to talk about why these two concepts matter and how to implement them into your life.

Learning Can Provide New Opportunities

One of the best parts about learning is that it can provide us with new opportunities. School gives us the space to discover new topics and meet new people in the process. This is crucial because some of these subjects can be things that we wind up doing for our future careers or as a hobby. The people we meet in school can turn into long-lasting friendships that extend beyond the classroom. Learning isn't limited to school either, there are many ways to keep an active interest in new subjects. For example, we can go down the route of self-teaching ourselves the intricacies of a hobby. Being self-sufficient can be its own form of motivation. Like many things in life, learning about a new subject is best done with an open mind and a willingness to view things as an opportunity.

Improvement is Its Own Reward

Improvement also ties into the learning and motivation connection. Being able to get better at something has a plethora of benefits. For one, it helps you feel more confident at what you're doing which provides its own form of happiness. Getting better at something also allows you to help others who may be in a similar situation. Improvement is one of the driving factors behind growth and applying ourselves to learning something new can facilitate that. Intrinsic motivation is a key factor when it comes to improvement. This form of motivation relies on the act of being driven by internal rewards. This can be something as simple as wanting to get better at drawing or even just having the satisfaction of completing a difficult task. Each of these is valid and offer their own form of self-sustaining motivation while still allowing us to learn about things in the process.

Motivation And Happiness

The last major thing to keep in mind is that both motivation and learning provide their own forms of happiness. Being motivated to get out of bed and give it your all is one such way that this applies. There may be goals that you want to achieve that also help steer you towards the things you want. Learning how to be aware of what it is we want to do is a great way to work on motivation. Meditation can help provide us with a quiet space to slow down our thoughts and reflect on what makes us happy. It could be something as simple as taking time to do something creative each day, or slowly working towards higher education. It's good to remember that motivation is driven by your interests as an individual and learning to celebrate who you are can make happiness a top priority.
