On Choosing the Right Motivator

If you’re struggling to stick to your resolution, perhaps the only motivation you have is the extrinsic type, driven by money, fame, or prizes. This type of motivation isn’t bad per se; what’s bad is when it’s the only thing that keeps you going

Whenever you’re setting new goals, go beyond mere external rewards.Instead, support your self-discipline with intrinsic motivators — internal rrewards such as doing something out of a need to grow as a person, achieve more independence, realize your full potential, enjoy yourself, learn, or explore.
