Taking responsibility for your own success is the best and only shortcut to success. Therefore, you must know that you are who you want to be and the limit is right within your definition. So what does this mean? It means that people should be motivated when they pursue a destination in their life. The inspiration to wake up every morning and do what you are supposed to do should come from yourself and not be forced on you by someone else. It is intrinsic, not extrinsic. Everyone knows what they want, and therefore only you can lead yourself to success. These are some of the advantages of being intrinsically motivated.

You will not find possible barriers
When a person is motivated, there is nothing like the impossible, as the person will work through anything that seems like a barrier and eventually get to the other side. On the contrary, when the force comes from another external force that is not related to the individual, it is very easy to give up and therefore the goal is not achieved. Firstly, the driving force often comes from an external source and therefore only supervised work is done. When this person or source of power is not present, you simply give up when faced with a barrier. This is not the correct way to do the things you have to do to reach the destination. Therefore, people need to learn self-motivation to achieve goals with ease.

You value the goal and that’s why you go for it
People will have an intrinsic driving force when they value the goal. When you know exactly what you want, you will finally go for the goal, and this is because it directly impacts your life. In short, motivation is based on the satisfaction that the goal you have set for yourself offers you. Conversely, when the goal benefits the other parties (because you see it that way) then it becomes very difficult to move on.

This is sometimes the case in a workplace where staff can see there is no need to burn midnight oil, yet the work they are doing benefits someone else and their salary is fixed. This is also the reason why some companies pay sales people on a commission basis so that they can do their best.

You will leave no stone unturned
Think about the miners, they will literally dig the groove even after depleting the gemstone that was on the site. When they leave that site, don’t be surprised when others come to examine anything that may have been left there. When a person’s inspiration comes from within, this is often the case. Thus, you will make sure that you have done all the tasks just to achieve the goal in front of you. On the contrary, you will only be waiting for the time to pass to leave the office no matter how much work is on the waiting tray.

Intrinsic driving force is the best form of motivation you must have to achieve life goals..
