Internal Motivation Over External Validation
Internal self-discipline, driven by self-directed goals, proves to be more effective and enjoyable than striving for external validation or approval. Research shows that pursuing goals for personal fulfillment yields better results and sustains motivation. It is advised to shift focus from external motivators to internal reasons, as they are more enduring and powerful in achieving long-term success. Consistently reconnecting with the underlying why behind your goals is crucial for maintaining motivation, supported by expectancy theory in psychology.
