MOTIVATION MAKES YOU HEALTHIER

About three months ago a friend of mine had a heart attack. After the seventies, recovery is harder because our body is not young anymore. However, last week he looked fantastic. He was enjoying a local event in his hometown where he has been one of the main representatives for the last fifty years.

It seemed that nothing had happened; he was there like every year. What made his recovery so good for the last three weeks? In my opinion, a great motivation to be in the yearly event and enjoying it with everybody else. 

A psychiatric report states that "when motivation comes from within the person, and there is a strong desire to achieve creativity and personal satisfaction, people get psychologically healthier and happier."

This friend had a goal which was to be in a local big celebration; it was something really important for him. His goal and his motivation to achieve it was probably the best medicine he could have and it made him to improve quickly his recovery.
