When you get out of bed in the morning, what gets your motor running? Are you full of creative good ideas about what you hope to experience that day? Or, are you more focused on what you need to do in order to fulfill the day’s obligations?
The question confronts the issue of motivation — that which energizes, directs and sustains our behaviors. Psychologists remind us that there are two distinctly different types of motivation.
Intrinsic motivation stems from an innate, internal desire to perform particular tasks. Intrinsically motivated people do certain activities because it gives them pleasure, develops a skill, or brings them personal satisfaction.
Extrinsic motivation stems from factors that are external to the individual and sometimes even unrelated to the task that they are performing. Examples include money, good grades and other rewards.
