Getting into Today's Topic
- Welcome back! Today, let's explore the profound difference between internal and external motivators. Discover how shifting from external to internal motivation can collapse time and fast-track your journey to success.
External Motivators
- Most people operate from tangible goals – the championship ring, financial targets, podcast download numbers, or test grades.
- Pitfalls of external motivators:
- Black and white success or failure mindset.
- Confidence tied to external outcomes.
- Always chasing fulfillment in the future, leading to a continuous cycle of unfulfillment.
Living Only for External Goals
- Stacy shares personal experiences and discusses how often people find themselves unfulfilled even after achieving significant external goals.
- The external approach often leads to forcing outcomes, missing the joy of the journey.
Shifting Focus to Internal Motivators
- Stacy emphasizes the importance of dedicating life to enhancing others' well-being and making a positive impact daily.
- Internal motivators are intangible and immeasurable by external standards but contribute to meaningful, lasting fulfillment.
- Reflecting on the legacy you want to leave behind - what people genuinely say about you at your funeral.
Joy vs. Temporary Satisfaction
- Joy is found in the intangible, moments without expectations, and positive impact on others.
- Stacy clarifies that external goals are fine but should be side effects of focusing on internal motivators.
- Burnout is more likely when focusing solely on the goal, not the intention or the journey.
Building an Internal Flame
- Internal motivation is an eternal flame within, driven by who you are rather than what you can achieve.
- Questions for self-reflection: Who do you want to be? What keeps your flame burning? How can you positively impact others' lives?
- Shifting focus can make a world of difference.
