The other day, I asked a striking question, have you thought deeply about it with emphatic answers? Here’s the question: WHY do you what you do?”
You see, in the school of motivation, there are two kinds of motivation: internal motivation and external motivation.
Our actions in life is hinged on either or a combination of these two motivations. However, your internal motivation should be stronger and higher for true and lasting success.
Let me give you an example, as a teenager growing up, my father had said to me that if I was top of my class, I would get a gift, we struck a deal somewhat and that really motivated me. I got it eventually. That was an external motivation. That promotional exam, that next salary scale are all external motivations. Does it mean external motivations are bad? Not at all, they are good, they actually boost work performance from some research findings. However, the strongest internal motivation for every impactful and life transforming career is one that stems from one’s life purpose and as such, one that is driven as a result of one’s life purpose.
This is what I call, “Purpose-Driven Career”
