Think about an experience you had where you felt extremely motivated. In a 3- to 4-
page paper, analyze this experience according to the experiential format below. Each
subtitle represents a different section of the paper. You can use the subtitles as
headings.
Introduction: Discuss the topic of the paper and how you will approach it. It is best to write
this section after you have written the rest of the paper.
The Experience: Begin with a specific situation/event. Describe the experience where you
felt extremely motivated. Be objective and focus on just the facts: who, what, where, when,
and how.
Reflection: Reflect upon that experience from the multiple perspectives of other people
involved or affected in the experience. Step back from the situation, look at the experience
from your own viewpoint, and the viewpoints of other parties involved or affected. Look at the
circumstances surrounding the experience from every relevant perspective. Why was the
experience motivating to you? What did others do that increased your motivation? Was the
situation (or would the situation) also be motivating to others? (Note: Your discussion of
theories and models from your module materials belongs in the following section.)
Abstract Conceptualization: [Important: This Abstract Conceptualization section is the
“heart” of your paper. Use critical thinking skills to understand and interpret the experience at
a deeper, more generalizable level. Interpret and understand the events you have described
by drawing on the concepts, theories, and models in the background material from this
module. What behavior patterns can you identify in yourself and others that are similar to the
ones described in the material on motivation, values, and/or goals? How do these concepts
and principles explain why you were motivated? What general principles of motivation can
you derive from this analysis? Apply at least three concepts, theories, and/or models and
cite all references to concepts and ideas that you use from sources. Be sure to cite all
references to concepts, ideas, and quotes you use that come from any outside source.
Experimentation: Identify ways to respond to the next occurrence of a similar experience.
How are you going to put what you have learned to use? How will you use this knowledge to
motivate yourself and others? What actions will you take to create a work environment that is
motivating?
Conclusion: Sum up the main points of your analysis and the key learnings you are taking
from it.
Reference List: List all references that you have cited in the paper using APA formatting.
References include materials from the required background readings as well as any outside
Internet or library sources you used in researching and writing your paper. If you have APA
questions, refer to the optional listings on the Background page.

An Experience that Motivated Me
Introduction
Attending a concert that I had in mind for years was like a dream come true for me. This
was a motivation that anything can happen, only if you are patient to wait long enough. The
experience was a concert that was attended by my music heroes and icons. They were to perform
live, and this felt like a riddle or a puzzle that had just been solved. Sometimes learning takes
more than you can imagine, always listen and try to find out before criticizing (Perrell, Erdie, &
Kasay, 2017). The paper shows a reflection of the concert and discusses various principles of
motivation and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory. Motivation is a universal need that makes
the world keep growing and developing.
The Experience
What motivated me the most is the way the performers related their narratives to the top.
From writing music in a garage to producing high-quality full-sized lyrics that move the world
takes mastery, patience, and time. Only a few people will understand what it takes to become the
best. The anecdotes we leave behind counts in the end and not the amount of money or our
lifestyles instead. It is a pity to judge others without finding out their true identity. Fame conceals
a lot if only you take the time to try and find out. Everyone has their stories and watching my
heroes perform compare to a creation out of the blues.
Reflection
Writing music that resonates in the hearts of its listeners is not everyone’s sport. Various
things moved those that attended the concert. For instance, there was this particular group that
was arguing who the best artiste was, and I kept wondering why they compared artistes who
MOTIVATION 3
were involved with different genres. In my capacity, I understand the concept of picking your
match in a battle lest your neck gets broken. A second encounter I had was pretty incredible. A
young lady barely my age came and gave me a tap. Before I knew it, we were in a deep
conversation on the achievements that Jessup had realized over his short career. The artist of the
hour was Jessup, the way he orchestrated the melodies one could think that the duo was in
communication. This concert was a motivation to not only me but the entire crowd. When the
artists performed, the whole crowd sang along, making incredible harmonies. The masses must
have elevated the feeling and motivation more than I expected.
Abstract Conceptualization
Perrell, Erdie, & Kasay (2017) imply that motivation is a concept that comes from
anything, especially the things we desire and adore. Before attending the concert, I had a burning
sensation for music but never dreamed of becoming a musician. Temporarily, the concert carried
me to a world that I have never tread. The people that attended the show made everything look
serene and beautiful. From the day the concert commenced till its last, I believed in the
attribution of that the best things in life happen to us when we least expect them to. The artists
played their instruments skillfully that you could imagine this was the first thing placed in their
hands when they dropped into this world. Every beat and melody was well organized and played
to the tune of the music. The crowd danced to the hits like they had been practicing for eternity.
Everybody spoke of the beauty of the concert. When the artiste told of their stories to fame,
everybody listened, and from the look of their faces, you could tell they were deeply touched
(Brunstein, & Heckhausen, 2018).
There are distinct motivational principles that I learned from this electrifying show.
Firstly, the best way to get people to listen to you is to pay attention to others. Jessup told of a
MOTIVATION 4
narrative when they were green in the music industry and had to learn from their superior
(Legault, 2016). I believe this is what made them command such large crowds and following in
various social media platforms. Secondly, our pain can change us, form the experience of losing
both parents, and having no one to take care of him, Jessup resorted to what he believed could
help wipe away his tears. Music is his new haven as he puts it in one of his lyrics. Thirdly,
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory shows the psychology of being motivated to get what is
essential to us the most as the artist believed in their music before anything else (Gawel, 1996).
Lastly, communicating is the key to identifying oneself. This concept has been of critical
significance to various artists who mounted the stage as it helped them connect and have the
world respond to them. The concert created a warm environment that motivated everyone that
their identities do not define who they are.
Experimentation
The next time something of this sort takes place, it is my place to look on the positive
side of it. Every encounter is deemed to be an experience that we must learn from. Listening to
people is a venture that I have learned and practice to ensure that I get the best out of people.
Every person has a story that you can learn from and motivate you to make the right choices.
Interaction is my prioritization at all times, and it feels great to learn new things and to impart
experiences in others as well. According to Benabou & Tirole (2003), you can never tell how
much benefits you might contribute to someone else’s life. Being open and attentive to others is
a venture that I intend to use in my work environment to motivate the rest. This way, I will
attract more positivity, which in itself is a motivation.
MOTIVATION 5
Conclusion
Motivation exists to make us desire or want something while believing that if we worked
hard and smart enough, it must eventually belong to us. Motivation imparts in us the objectivity
of realizing our goals. Technically, our behavior and patterns get affected when we feel
motivated. Through theories such as Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, we recognize what we
deem significant and work towards achieving it. The type of motivation addressed in this paper is
extrinsic motivation, as it comes from the outside environment to trigger the inside. Generally,
we must not look down upon others when they stand in a better position before comprehending
what they have gone through. The tallest building in the world was once just a small plan on
paper; that is my motivation to greatness.

Introduction
Attending
a
concert
that
I
had
in

for

me.
This
was
a

The

They

this

like
a

that
had
just
been

Sometimes

before

The

and
not
the

or

instead.
It
is

without

their
true

Fame
conceals
a

if

me
but
the

When

the

The
masses must
have
elevated
the
feeling
and

Abstract
Conceptualization
Perrell,
Erdie,
&
Kasay
(2017)
imply
that
motivation
is
a
concept
that
comes
from
anything,
especially
the
things
we
desire
and
adore.
Before
attending
the
concert,
|
had
a
burning
sensation
for
music
but
never
dreamed
of
becoming
a
musician.
Temporarily,
the
concert
carried
me
to a
world
that
|
have
never
tread.
The
people
that
attended
the
show made
everything
look
serene
and
beautiful.
From
the
day
the
concert
commenced
till
its
last,
|
believed
in
the
attribution
of
that
the
best
things
in
life
happen
to
us
when
we
least
expect
them
to.
The
artists
played
their
instruments
skillfully
that
you
could
imagine
this
was
the
first
thing
placed
in
their
hands
when
they
dropped
into this
world.
Every
beat
and
melody
was
well
organized
and
played
to
the
tune
of
the
music.
The
crowd
danced
to
the
hits
like
they
had
been
practicing
for
eternity.
Everybody
spoke
of
the
beauty
of
the
concert.
When
the
artiste
told
of
their
stories
to
fame,
everybody
listened,
and from
the
look
of
their
faces,
you
could
tell
they
were
deeply
touched
(Brunstein,
&
Heckhausen,
2018).
There
are
distinct
motivational
principles
that
|
learned
from
this
electrifying
show.
Firstly,
the
best
way
to get
people
to
listen
to
you
1s
to
pay
attention
to
others.
Jessup
told
of
a
MOTIVATION
narrative
when
they
were
green
in
the
music
industry
and had
to
learn
from
their
superior
(Legault,
2016).
I
believe
this
is
what
made
them
command
such
large
crowds
and
following
in
various
social
media
platforms.
Secondly,
our
pain
can
change
us,
form
the
experience
of
losing
both
parents,
and
having
no
one
to
take
care
of
him,
Jessup
resorted
to
what
he
believed
could
help
wipe
away
his
tears.
Music
is
his
new
haven
as
he
puts
it
in
one
of
his
lyrics.
Thirdly,
foe
hierarchy
of
needs
theory
shows
the
psychology
of
being
motivated
to
get
what
1s
essential
to
us
the
most
as
the
artist
believed
in
their
music
before
anything
else
(Gawel,
1996).
Lastly,
communicating
1s
the
key
to
identifying
oneself.
This
concept
has
been
of
critical
significance
to
various
artists
who
mounted
the
stage
as
it
helped
them
connect
and
have
the
world
respond
to
them.
The
concert
created
a
warm
environment
that
motivated
everyone
that
their
identities
do
not
define
who
they
are.
Experimentation
The
next
time
something
of
this
sort
takes
place,
it
is
my
place
to
look
on
the
positive
side
of
it.
Every
encounter
is
deemed
to
be an
experience
that
we
must
learn
from.
Listening
to
people
is
a
venture
that
I
have
learned
and
practice
to
ensure
that
I
get
the
best
out
of
people.
Every
person has
a
story
that
you
can
learn
from
and
motivate
you
to
make
the
right
choices.
Interaction
1s
my
prioritization
at
all
times,
and
it
feels
great
to
learn
new
things
and
to
impart
experiences
in
others
as
well.
According
to
Benabou
&
Tirole
(2003),
you can
never
tell
how
much
benefits
you
might
contribute
to
someone
else’s
life.
Being
open
and
attentive
to
others
is
a
venture
that
I
intend
to
use
in
my
work
environment
to
motivate
the
rest.
This
way,
I
will
attract
more
positivity,
which
in
itself
is
a
motivation.

Conclusion
Motivation
exists
to
make
us
desire
or
want
something
while
believing
that
if
we
worked
hard
and
smart
enough,
it
must
eventually
belong
to
us.
Motivation
imparts
in
us
the objectivity
of
realizing
our

Technically,
our
behavior
and
patterns
get
affected
when
we
feel
motivated.
Through
theories
such
as
Maslow’s
hierarchy
of
needs
theory,
we
recognize
what
we
deem
significant
and
work
towards
achieving
it.
The
type
of
motivation
addressed
in
this
paper
1s
extrinsic
motivation,
as
it
comes
from
the
outside
environment
to
trigger
the
inside.
Generally,
we
must
not
look
down
upon
others
when
they
stand
in
a
better
position
before
comprehending
what
they
have gone
through.
The
tallest
building
in
the
world
was
once
just a
small
plan
on
paper;
that
is
my
motivation
to
greatness.
