Internal Motivation vs External Motivation
Friday Focus
For anyone to achieve any degree of success in life the essential factor of motivation must be present. Motivation keeps us striving towards our coveted dreams and ambitions in life, no matter what happens along the journey. Motivation wakes us up every morning and makes us excited about life. There are two main types of motivation that we must utilize to achieve our dreams. Internal motivation is the motivation that we have for ourselves. The “why” behind pursuing our dreams and the benefits that achieving them will have on our lives. External motivation is the people and things that surround us that give us the motivation to also achieve our dreams. Both are necessary to have lasting success in life but one is more crucial than the other. Your internal motivation that you have towards your dreams should be a white hot desire inside of you, something that will keep you moving forward no matter what obstacles you may face. External motivation can be used as fuel in the pursuit of your dreams but it is only temporary. You must know what your internal motivating factors are in life because without it your willpower will fizzle out over time. Find and understand what your motivating factors are, they will fuel you to great heights towards your dreams. Stay motivated and remember that you can have every one of your dreams in life! Keep chasing and don’t settle until you achieve every one of them!
