The Power of Passion, Purpose, and Curiosity
Passion, purpose, and curiosity are powerful drivers of focus and motivation. Passion and curiosity provide focus for free, reducing the energy required for tasks. Purpose, when attached to a cause greater than oneself, boosts motivation and allows for the ego to take a backseat. These intrinsic motivators align our attention and energy toward a specific direction, providing a foundation for peak performance.
