I think of those who aren't in the best of circumstances, and are able to motivate themselves to make better (motivation based on necessity of circumstance, I guess you could say). And there are those still who are motivated by money...which isn't really a positive motivation at all.<br /><br />But enough of my deep motivational thoughts, lol. Congratulations to your son!Laura @ the shorehouse.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15442672928319257413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-32386530780082724682011-03-05T10:34:13.816-05:002011-03-05T10:34:13.816-05:00He's a star, and he has a fabulous mom too!

Motivation - one's lucky to have all three: to be taught and coached (I think he has this in both you and your husband), and it's obvious that he is motivated from within.

Just so fantastic about his drive and the success that has resulted from it.<br /><br />Second, you and your husband are obviously doing an amazing job as parents b/c he may have the desire, but without your support and sacrifice, he wouldn't be there.<br /><br />Third, I'm not sure if motivation can be taught. I think you can coach it out...but at the end of the day, it must come from within.<br /><br />xoxo ElizabethAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395215787881578608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-83519656255880400472011-03-02T09:09:35.274-05:002011-03-02T09:09:35.274-05:00awesome, awesome, awesome! he is an inspiration. ...awesome, awesome, awesome! he is an inspiration. go pve son!Belle on Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07613125498061092117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-89723459039635149042011-03-02T08:52:03.679-05:002011-03-02T08:52:03.679-05:00Wow - how exciting, you must be so proud!

I think that motivation can be coached, and that great parents like you, and other role models, play an important part in that. But it's innate, too, and tied to passion--we are quicker to be motivated around things we love, than things we aren't as interested in...Speaking of which it's time for me to motivate to clean the kitchen! <br />XX<br />JeanneI Dream Ofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128941467748295555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3757093408303875257.post-65425760607196404942011-03-01T23:52:37.797-05:002011-03-01T23:52:37.797-05:00No way- my cousin just graduated from there.
