So, I’ve realized something around #connection - here is the thought:

Some people find the majority of their motivation and happiness from within, while others from the outside.

Here is what I mean:

People who find motivation/happiness from within tend to
⁃ Find motivation by tapping into their desires
⁃ Get out of negative emotional states by consciously thinking about things that will bring them into positivity
⁃ Follow their personal commitments, regardless of their commitment to others

People who find motivation/happiness from the outside world tend to
⁃ Find motivation by engaging into a task or activity with another group or person
⁃ Get out of negative emotional states by changing their environment and surroundings
⁃ Follow the commitments they have with others, regardless of their own commitments towards themselves

Now, this is NOT binary - it’s like introvert versus extrovert, there is no-one that is 100% on one side.

It’s just a question of where do you lean towards.

So my question to you: are you more driven by yourself or the outside world?
