#64 - Learning to Perform Without External Incentives | Be A Wolf - Sessions | Nayzel Sushil

In this episode, we explore the idea of performing without external motivations, focusing on intrinsic rewards and problem-solving for positive impact. I shares my personal story of self-discovery, overcoming uncertainty, and embracing intrinsic motivation.
I highlight the transformative power of problem-solving and making a positive impact on others. The journey involves overcoming obstacles and inspiring others to embark on their own quests of authenticity.
Tips:

1. Sustainable Motivation: Relying solely on external rewards like money, fame, or recognition can lead to a shallow and short-lived motivation. Intrinsic motivation, on the other hand, arises from within, providing a more sustainable and enduring drive to pursue our passions and achieve our goals.
2. Increased Creativity and Innovation: When we focus on intrinsic motivation, we become more creative and innovative in our approach to problem-solving. Freed from the constraints of external rewards, we can think outside the box and explore unconventional solutions.
3. Greater Resilience: External incentives can fluctuate or even disappear over time, leading to decreased motivation and discouragement. Intrinsic motivation, however, helps build resilience, as we are driven by our own interests and values rather than depending on external factors.
4. Enhanced Personal Growth: Pursuing activities without external incentives allows us to experience personal growth and self-discovery. We learn more about our strengths, weaknesses, and true interests, leading to a deeper understanding of ourselves.
5. Increased Focus on the Process: External incentives can often shift our focus to the end result, overshadowing the joy of the process itself. By learning to perform without incentives, we can fully immerse ourselves in the present moment and find fulfillment in the journey.
6. Autonomy and Independence: Intrinsic motivation grants us a sense of autonomy and independence. We become less reliant on external approval and more self-directed in our pursuits, enabling us to make decisions aligned with our values.
7. Positive Impact on Well-Being: Engaging in activities without external incentives has been linked to higher levels of well-being and satisfaction. When we do things for the sheer enjoyment and fulfillment they bring, we experience a deeper sense of contentment and happiness.
8. Fostering a Growth Mindset: Embracing intrinsic motivation encourages a growth mindset, where we see challenges as opportunities for learning and improvement. This mindset allows us to take on new challenges with enthusiasm and adaptability.
9. Building Meaningful Connections: When we pursue our passions without the pressure of external rewards, we tend to attract like-minded individuals who share our values and interests. This can lead to building meaningful connections and a supportive community.
10. Contributing to the Greater Good: Intrinsic motivation often aligns with a desire to make a positive impact on the world. By learning to perform without incentives, we are more likely to engage in activities that benefit others and society as a whole.
