Motivation
Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain behavior. It represents the reasons for people's actions, desires, and needs. Motivation can also be defined as one's direction to behavior, or what causes a person to want to repeat a behavior and vice versa. A motive is what prompts the person to act in a certain way, or at least develop an inclination for specific behavior. According to Maehr and Meyer, "Motivation is a word that is part of the popular culture as few other psychological concepts are".
Types of theories and models
Motivation theories can be classified on a number of bases.
Psychological theories and models
Motivation can be conceived of as a cycle in which thoughts influence behaviors, behaviors drive performance, performance impacts thoughts, and the cycle begins again. Each stage of the cycle is composed of many dimensions including attitudes, beliefs, intentions, effort, and withdrawal which can all affect the motivation that an individual experiences.

Motivation
by: Tommy StinsonYeah, you ought to see yourself
Through the eyes of anyone
Ever knew you when you were more useful
There used to be no place
For anyone who wanted
To come play around your back door
Now, they're sneakin' through your cat hole
Yeah, you got a lot of nerve
It ought to be illegal
Always takin' up so much space
They never see you come
They'll only see you leavin'
'Cause you've always got your hands full
You even steal all the shadows
Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks
It ain't your mother
But what's your motivation?
Ain't the wine, ain't the creeps
It ain't your father
Tell me, what's your motivation?
Your motivation
Yeah, you said, you knew me when
I was easier to be around
Knew me, like we were really friends
You let me wear your hat
And all I really wanted
Was to know, why you wake up?
Tell me, where you hide your make-up?
Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks
It ain't your mother
But what's your motivation?
Ain't the wine, ain't the creeps
Ain't your father
Tell me, what's your motivation?
I never see you without it
Tell me, what's your motivation?
Well, I never see you without it
Tell me, what's your motivation?
What's your motivation?
Yeah, I saw your monkey cat
He's dancin' on the corner
With a brother and his moonshine
Yeah, they're buzzin' like a beehive
Ooh, ain't the lies, ain't the freaks
It ain't your mother
But what's your motivation?
Ooh, ain't the wine, ain't the creeps
It ain't your father
Tell me, what's your motivation?
Ain't the lies, ain't the freaks
It ain't your mother
But what's your motivation?
Ain't the wine, ain't the creeps
It ain't your father
Tell me, what's your motivation?
Your motivation
So, what's your motivation?
Your motivation
Your motivation
