motivation

Motivation is the inner drive or desire that compels a person to take action toward achieving a goal. It is fueled by personal ambitions, needs, or external influences and can be intrinsic (driven by internal rewards like satisfaction or personal growth) or extrinsic (driven by external rewards like money, recognition, or approval). Motivation plays a key role in determining how much effort and persistence an individual will put into their tasks or challenges. It influences our behaviors, decisions, and overall ability to succeed in personal, academic, or professional areas of life.
