Where does motivation come from, how can we get more of it, and how can we ensure that we don’t waste it?

Motivation is all about being able to take action. But the question is… what action are we taking? We only want to take more action if that action is aligned with where we want to go.

A belief system is a set of beliefs we have about what is right or wrong, what is true or false, and what things mean to us. It forms all our ethical beliefs about good and bad, it has all our assumptions about what will or won’t happen, and it’s our primary tool for interpreting the world around us.
