Self-motivation might sound like an oxymoron. After all, isn't self-motivation just about being motivated? Isn't motivation just a simple wish, a gut feeling, or a "knowing" that you are motivated and then just having the ability to make it happen? In reality, there is nothing as simple as these kinds of explanations. Self-motivation encompasses many more characteristics that can keep the motivated person going in spite of any discouragement.
Other external motivators are external. External factors can sometimes get in the way of self-motivation because they detract from what's most important. External factors may include the kind of job that someone is in and the kind of relationships they have. Sometimes, these external factors outweigh the internal qualities that a person has. When external motivators are at odds with self-motivation, the person may not be as driven as he would otherwise be. The problem can then become one of self-balance.
