There are two types of carrots you can dangle for motivation.
The first is a candied version. It’s sweet. It’s an incentive. It’s instant gratification. It’s a reward. It works but not as effectively and not as long-term as the other type of carrot.
The second is a healthy version. It’s growth. It’s fulfillment. It’s an investment. It’s the kind that brings more joy getting it than having it.
Stay Positive & Choose Your Motivation Accordingly
