Motivation

What do you get motivated by?
For me, in the long run, by my dreams and what i want to accomplish but from day to day, i love reading the little inspirational quotes. Those are one of my biggest motivators. 


Motivation: A need or desire that energizes and directs behavior.

  1. Instinct Theory: We are motivated by our inborn automated behaviors. ( But instincts only explains why we do a small fraction of our behavior).
  2. Drive- Reduction Theory: The idea that a physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need.
