Success Starts with You: A Student’s Guide to Achievement.

Recognizing What Drives You

We do what we do and act the way we act because of our motivation. The invisible hand is what drives us to achieve our ambitions. Knowing what drives you is essential for achieving any goal, whether it be weight loss, professional success, or skill acquisition. In this post, we will discuss the numerous dimensions of motivation, its sources, and how to harness it to reach your desired objectives.

Internal and external variables both play a part in keeping people interested and engaged in their work or studies, and in propelling them to take action in pursuit of their goals. It’s what gets us out of bed in the morning and moving toward our goals. But inspiration isn’t something that can be applied universally. In addition, it might shift over time and amongst different individuals.

There are two basic types of motivation: intrinsic and extrinsic. A person’s intrinsic motivation is something they feel deep inside themselves. It’s the impetus to act that springs from your own deepest wants and needs. You engage in an activity because you derive personal satisfaction from doing so. Intrinsically motivated people are the ones who, say, spend hours practicing an activity they enjoy because doing so makes them happy.
