About motivation

We’re all powered by our motives.
When we do stuff – we do it because we want to do it.
But why do we want to do it?
We do it because we loose something if we don’t do anything…
Or gain something if we do it.
So when we connect a task to a gain – we’re more likely to do it, right?
Based on needs and wants -- here are some motives for taking action:
1. Money
2. Health
3. Fame
4. Attention
5. Sex
6. Power
We either gain or loose one of those... That’s why we move.
