The first is passionate motivation, this comes from craving to do something. The second is wealth motivation. Wealth motivation is craving to have something. The differences between the two may be subtle, but the impact is tremendous. One builds enthusiasm, while the other can be completely toxic.<\/p>\n<p>The difference between these two drives is almost completely hidden. You can\u2019t usually make a distinction from a written goal or mission statement. But the results are far apart. Passionately motivated people can easily overcome stress, pain and obstacles. Wealth motivated people are often frustrated, impatient and depressed at the slightest failure.<\/p>\n<h2>Wealth Motivation is Toxic<\/h2>\n<p>What is wealth motivation? It isn\u2019t specifically being motivated by money. It simply means being motivated by outcomes over process. Wanting to be rich instead of being interested in earning money. Wanting a relationship instead of being interested in other people. Wanting a healthy body rather than being interested in healthy eating and exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Wealth motivation isn\u2019t, in itself, a bad thing. The problem is when it is used to disguise a lack of passionate motivation. When you aren\u2019t intensely interested in the process, getting to the goal is going to be painful.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to tell which type of motivation fuels you is to look at your goals and the pursuits required to reach them. Which draws you in more? Are you more interested in school or the degree? Are you more interested in running a business or being a successful businessperson?<\/p>\n<h3>Toxic Motivation Doesn\u2019t Last<\/h3>\n<p>Wealth motivation might get you started, but it can\u2019t finish the marathon. Every successful person I know got to where they are because they had at least some level of passionate motivation. Of the extremely successful people I know, passionate motivation is almost so high that it can often be hard to discern exactly what their external goals even are.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some questions to ask yourself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Would you keep doing it even if eventual success was impossible?<\/li>\n<li>Would you keep doing it even if you couldn\u2019t enjoy the rewards?<\/li>\n<li>Would you keep doing it even if failure was almost guaranteed?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Replace Toxic Drive With Enthusiasm<\/h2>\n<p>Just let go. The toxicity of your drive happens because you clutch onto it. The result has become so important to you that your willing to put up with the frustration, poison and pain that you have to go through to reach it. The first step (although certainly not the last) is simply to let go of this old drive.<\/p>\n<p>When I used to run in track, our coach would explain that if you run up a hill lactic acids can build in your legs. It\u2019s important to jog out the muscles a short time so that they won\u2019t build up and cause problems later. I think sometimes the only way to get rid of a toxic drive is simply to jog it out. Get detached for awhile so you can begin fresh.<\/p>\n<h2>Win-Win or No Deal<\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve detached from your goal, the only way you can create a healthy drive is to force an ultimatum. Either commit to finding a way to be wildly interested in the process AND the goal, or walk away from that area until you do.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some applications you might want to use:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Health &#8211; Don\u2019t force yourself to get thin unless you can find an exercise, diet or health philosophy that you can become enthusiastic about.<\/li>\n<li>Money &#8211; Don\u2019t try to earn more money unless you can find a process for making money that fascinates you.<\/li>\n<li>Work &#8211; Don\u2019t do work that doesn\u2019t make you passionate. If you can\u2019t find passionate work do the bare minimum to survive and move up until you can find passionate work. Money can\u2019t buy your soul.<\/li>\n<li>Relationships &#8211; Don\u2019t force yourself to date, meet people or attract without becoming interested in other people.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Enthusiasm Hurts!<\/h2>\n<p>Passionate motivation doesn\u2019t mean that everything you do should be easy or painless. Many of the things I love involve a lot of pain, challenge or scare the hell out of me. The point isn\u2019t to have a pain free, relaxing stroll but to be involved in a process you are fascinated by and care about.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not interested in being rich. I live a comfortable lifestyle and I could live on a minimum wage salary. Being a millionaire doesn\u2019t motivate me. But the process of owning a business, investing, selling products and earning money does. I\u2019m interested in becoming a millionaire, not being one.<\/p>\n<p>Being interested isn\u2019t the same as expecting ease. In fact, I probably wouldn\u2019t be interested if I thought it were easy. It is because I expect it to be challenging that creates the drive.<\/p>\n<h2>A Drive for the Game<\/h2>\n<p>When you play a game, you are driven out of the fun of the play. The spirit of the game is what makes it worth playing, even if your goal is to win. In life you can also have strict goals, deadlines and objective results. But if you aren\u2019t playing for a love of the game, you might as well quit because you aren\u2019t playing at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Motivation can be split up between two different categories.
