Answer:
Every action you take is dependent on motivation. Everyone is trying to figure out how to be successful. The foundational element of being successful is finding out what motivates you.
1.Intrinsic Motivation - The main feature of this motivation is that it is an internal feeling that says, “I really want to do this thing.” There is no external pressure. You and you alone are determining the action you are taking. This is sometimes called Self-Determination or Autonomy. This is the ultimate goal for well-being. Another important point is that intrinsic motivation builds on itself and there is a feeling of naturally moving forward rather than stagnating. Intrinsic motivation is at one end of a spectrum of desirability.
2.Extrinsic Motivation - This is the least desirable part of the spectrum for a number of well researched reasons. The keyword is “pressure.” Whenever there is an externally imposed pressure, you are in a state of Non Self-Determination. The result of this is that your motivation will be depleted, not increased as with Intrinsic motivation. External pressure could be in the form of being forced to do something or because of a reward or because of an internal message like “I should do this.” For example, an impersonal order from a manager has been shown to result in an attitude of “there's no real compelling reason for me to make a strong effort because I believe my success is unlikely or impossible. I'll do it for the paycheck (for now) but I won't go the extra mile or innovate. When money is the only reward for work, studies show that motivation is depleted. Of course money is important but it must be coupled with Intrinsic motivation so that motivation is not depleted.
Some of your characters will change during the course of your story—let’s call them changers. Others—stayers—will not change significantly in personality or outlook, but their motivations may nonetheless change as the story progresses from situation to situation. Both changers and stayers can have progressive motivations. Confused? Don’t be; it’s simpler than it may seem. Characters come in four basic types:
1.Characters who never change, neither in personality nor motivation. They are what they are, and they want what they want.
2.Characters whose basic personality remains the same; they don’t grow or change during the story. But what they want changes as the story progresses (“progressive motivation”).
3.Characters who change throughout the story, although their motivation does not.
4.Characters who change throughout the story as their motivation also progresses.
Good Luck and Stay Safe!
