About motivation
July 16, 2008
We’re all powered by our motives.
When we do stuff – we do it because we want to do it.
But why do we want to do it?
We do it because we loose something if we don’t do anything…
Or gain something if we do it.
So when we connect a task to a gain – we’re more likely to do it, right?
Based on needs and wants — here are some motives for taking action:
1. Money
2. Health
3. Fame
4. Attention
5. Sex
6. Power
We either gain or loose one of those… That’s why we move.

Many times, I am motivated by a desire to do something because it makes me feel good. It makes me feel like I’m worth something. I’d put those feelings under the category of “EGO.”

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this!
I’ll have to think about EGO – good point.
best regards,
