Charles... I'm not that into alot of "touchy/feely" stuff, so for me it's not that important. What motivates me is my clients' satisfaction with the job I do for them.

You bet! 

However, what motivates people can be elusive. 

For some it is prevailing in comparative judgment.

For others it the evidence of productivity.

And some are motivated by personal recognition while others the freedom of choice success can offer.

Is motivation necessary? No. According to those who have succeed, execution and a little luck is necessary. Motivation and execution can make the world more harmonious for the individual. Somewhere in the mix, to create the durability of the effort, the greater purpose must be named.

Charles,

I feel that when you love what you, one does not need motivation...the only time I have needed motivation is when I was not really interested or keen on doing something...A

Oh yes absolutely! I am very competetive by nature and just looking at the leader board motives me-I must be on the top or I am not happy! Client/customer satisfaction also keeps me motivated because they are the one's that keep me on the top of the game.
