Basically, there are only two things that motivate us in life: inspiration and desperation.

We either move toward that which inspires us, or we move away from something that fills us with despair or discomfort. The majority of the world's population uses desperation as a motivator. Desperation is like a cattle prod forcing you to move forward and take action. I can motivate anyone in the world with desperation. The problem is that motivation that is spurred by desperation doesn't last. Think of that person you know who is always lying on the couch. If you douse the couch with gasoline and light a match, you'll see instant motivation. But once the fire is out, you will see her/him turn back into a lazy person.

If you want motivation to last, you have to rely on inspiration. The positive results that spring from using inspiration as a motivator are obvious. Inspired people tend to be proactive, passionate and driven. They are happier and enjoy greater life fulfillment than those who are desperation-driven. If you just check the help-wanted section of your newspaper, these types of inspired people are always in demand. To be most effective, inspiration needs to be internalized. Motivation becomes long-term when the intended goal taps into one's inner drive and emotion. The key to finding success lies in being emotionally motivated with a purpose. Discover your purpose in life and focus on your passion!
