Does motivation always involve goal setting?

So tonight I have been wondering how could I make sure I achieve one of my most important dream – yeah let’s call it a secret dream. I think I am capable of reaching that goal after seeing the potentials I have that haven’t been used, actually they have been misplaced literally.

Anyways, the question remains loud and clear: do we need to set up a goal in order to self motivate? I personally think it would completely depend on how we really define the words goal setting and self motivation. I m sure there atleast small group of people who will put self-motivation and goal-setting in the same category, while some others will not.

Then there are people like me, who atleast at this moment, thinks self motivation doesn’t necessarily have to include goal setting. Self motivation in my opinion should be understood as Do the Best You Can. This motto is far more helpful than setting up a too specific goal, because goals can be too easy or too hard to achive; either way, which will eventually result in the death of self motivation. On the other hand, the “self motivation of do the best you can” will never die out but instead it will motivate you further and prompt you to keep going and work hard. That might be the best motivation after all.

In a way, just the way smart rich people use their money to make more money (investing in stocks, money market, real estate,etc), intelligent motivated people can use their motivation to strengthen their self motivation.
