Motivation: The Seed of Action...

What is Motivation? Is it a Person, Thing, or Verb? I regard Motivation as all three. The beginnings of a tree or building project, or an idea, has its origin within a tiny seed. Hence, Motivation: The Seed of Action.

For you psychology majors out there, it is widely known that there are 2 types of motivation. For the rest of us (non-psychs), we understand the concepts of inward and outward drive and spirit. I am motivated to work/hunt/fish/farm. Not only because I may be passionate about that activity, but I am driven to be a successful hunter because I am hungry. No Kill, No Eat!

Depending on how ya dice and slice it, that (kill) activity is probably an Outwardly Motivating behavior. On the flip side, selecting that 'Perfect Gift' for my wife or husband, is one of inward motivation.

General George Patton said it best, "It doesn't matter if the Apple cart is pushed up the hill or pulled, as long as it gets to the top." Whatever you and I need to reach our mountaintop, Inward (intrinsic) or Outward (extrinsic or external) motivation, any type of motivating energy is useful.

Bottom-line: Need a job, career change, or exercise plan, use motivation as your action seed to git-it-dun. P.s., Being chased by a LION, is an excellent external motivator for your personal exercise program. On second thought, Nix That Suggestion!
