Comparing the Forces of Intrinsic and Foreign Motivation… Part #1
<div class="text-justify"> 

Hello, dear Steemians! 

Do you remember the last time that you truly wanted something with all your heart?

In our lifetime, there are many things that we pursue. But then, sometimes there are things that we truly long for. There is a difference between wanting something and longing for something. When you long for something, you deem it more important than the most fundamental things of what makes you a living being.

You crave it with all your thirst and desire, with every breath you gasp and every step you take; the thing give us more happiness and satisfaction than the sum of all the wealth and power that this world has to offer.

Where does this inherent and powerful force comes from?

If you go behind-the-scenes in the set of success, you will realize that behind every accomplishment and achievement resides a powerful motivation that drove their dreamers forth.

But there are two types of motivation; intrinsic and foreign.

When you talk about foreign motivation, you are describing all the elements of the outside world that compel you to do something because you will be rewarded or not to do something because you will be punished.

Rewards and punishments are the pinnacle of foreign motivation, driving you to perform certain tasks and chores and take care of your social responsibilities.

For instance, working at a job and dealing with your boss is a foreign motivation. You work because you are expecting to get paid at the end of the month, and that is the reward behind your motivation. If you do not finish your tasks in time, your boss can scold you, which is the punishment behind your foreign motivation.

<div class="text-justify"> 

As effective as foreign motivation can be to anyone, it is not usually ambitious or truly valuable. Almost everyone uses foreign motivation on a subconscious level in their daily lives, but not a lot of people benefit from intrinsic motivation.

Your inner motivation is the opposite point of foreign motivation, in the sense that you decide to do something because it makes you feel satisfaction and tranquility without the intervention or requirement of foreign elements.

With foreign motivation, you feel joy or pain as a result of those rewards and punishments, but with intrinsic motivation, you feel joy as a result of putting value on a deed itself, rather than the outcome of it.

When it comes to dreams and goals, our sense of peace and satisfaction is much more important than our fear of punishment or our wish for rewards.

Following your dreams is independent of such sensations, and that is why, rather than relying on foreign motivation, one should focus more on his inner values and dilemmas.

<div class="text-justify"> 

When intrinsic motivation drives you forward, you will feel satisfaction and joy in your endeavors, because rewards and punishments are obligatory, whereas your values and dreams come out of passion and desire.

Do not put much value on the motivation that comes from foreign sources. Try to elevate your inner flame by thinking about your dreams and what they really mean to you, and how they could change your life if they were to be realized.

In the ultimate fight for motivation, your compassion will always trample on the obligations of the outside world.

A BIG HUG!
