Hello world. I hope you are doing well and know you are loved. Sometimes we all need a little motivation to help us to keep going. No matter what activity we are doing.

When I think about motivation, I think of it being intrinsic or extrinsic. The internal and external forces that motivate us. Let’s think of some intrinsic things that motivate us such as sense of accomplishment, enjoyment, and obtaining knowledge. These are all things I love. Can you think of any more? Extrinsic things consist of money, bonuses, raises, promotions, and acknowledgment. Anything else that comes to mind for you?

As an individual who can utilize both types of motivation styles, it is great when you can self motivate yourself and use the motivation from outside sources as well. This is called dual-trinsic. This is not a real word. Just something I made up. Duality allows you to motivate yourself when others cannot and seek outside help when you are at an internal impasse. This allows you to keep going. So keep going and don’t give up.
