Hello, Steemians! Motivation is the most important force of nature that pushes you in the direction of everything you have dreamt of. It is an understatement to merely say that motivation is the most contributing factor to your eventual and inevitable success. As we already discussed, there are two forces of motivation in our possession. One is intrinsic and the other, foreign. Foreign inspiration is basically all those elements of the outside world that compel you to do something. Foreign motivation is a systematic dance of rewards and punishments in the whirlwind of society and its obligations. But intrinsic motivation is completely different. When you are inherently inspired to do something, you don’t do it in the hope of taking pleasure from its reward. The true pleasure lies with the deed itself, and that is what separates intrinsic and foreign motivation. ![image4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYdxiwFZMCv6QYW53QwCGi8BRwtRmJrTACWAYnuVnC917/image4.jpg) img src

While it is an undeniable fact that we need foreign motivation to perform particular tasks and adapt certain roles, it must be noted that at the end of the day, intrinsic motivation is what separates us from the common population and lights the flame of our passion against the challenges of the journey. If we were to put these two forces of motivation into perspective, we could claim that intrinsic motivation is much superior to our sense of obligation about the rewards and punishments of society. We covered this part in our previous blog post. In today’s article, we are going to talk about the ways with which you can light your inner fire and bring intrinsic motivation from the boundaries of theory to your own mind’s reality and understanding. ![image1.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVnka6HtduWX66U3VrMRwtY7t154pqT4g3joXzDiw8CzE/image1.jpg) img src

The first step towards realizing intrinsic motivation is to ask the important questions from yourself. What are your goals and dreams? What steps are you taking everyday to get closer to what you want? How do you define the meaning of life and how meaningful do you live it anyway? How close are you to your own ideals and values? Answering these questions will kickstart your inner flame through the force of clarity. With clarity, you know what you want to do with your life and how you want to do it, and that in itself elevates your self-confidence and grace. After igniting your flame, you will come up against an adversary that might destroy your mindset and leave you in a ruin of your own making. So, I am here now to warn you about this adversary and prepare you for its arrival! ![image2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaYcYu2xZSqq6TXfu6PPa6reu7GvG2bJ6nCtLRpHSfypf/image2.jpg) img src

This adversary is the dilemma of challenges and difficulties that one has to face in order to achieve something. A lot of people know how to dream, but do not fully understand the cost. Everything comes at a price, and we must be willing to pay that price. When you are motivated from within to do something, you are mindless of all the challenges that await you once you step in the path. The flame of those who are not prepared against these challenges will surely perish and depression will take the place of motivation. What you need to do is accept, from here on out, that you ARE going to face difficulties and challenges that will put your stamina and resilience to test. You must be prepared for the worst. If you go head first into danger without realizing what you are up against, it is no surprise to find failure at the end of your endeavors. ![image3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWicCYDCJjDZUvLbYT1CHx77c54h4M3fP98NFTCS8sP8z/image3.jpg) img src

After that comes ambition and the fearlessness to think even beyond everybody else’s wildest dreams. Society usually compels us to be reasonable and rational, but once you ignite your inner flame and defeat the adversary of challenges, you must be willing to push the limits of your ambition and dream big! With such practice and wisdom, you will find that your intrinsic motivation has turned you into a force to be reckoned with. You become resilient, steadfast, hopeful and inspirational as a result of growing your intrinsic motivation to the point of soaring high in the skies of ambition and desire. Trust me, that unstoppable force has the power to take you where you need to go! A BIG HUG! @chbartist ================== Important Note!
