The 2 Forms of Motivation

Motivation can be described as the general desire or willingness of someone to do something.

• Extrinsic motivation depends on your surroundings: a pep talk, a fitness partner, inspiring posts are some examples. Because these sources are outside your ability to control, you cannot entirely rely on them.
• Intrinsic motivation comes from within, when you decide to take action. You are not born with it, but you can develop it.
