Truth of Success: Intrinsic vs Extrinsic Motivation
The core concept behind success is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Success is an inside game, meaning it has to be defined by oneself. Intrinsic motivation involves doing what one most values and believes in, blocking out outside pressures and opinions. It requires self-honesty, self-awareness, and courage to follow one's own path rather than succumbing to the pressures of the world.
