original_response: Yes, you need to start from yourself, motivation is the reason for people's actions
history: Hi, do you have any advice on how to stay motived? Not any here but according to Maehr and Meyer, the word motivation is part of popular culture. Hmm, okay I see what you mean. What do you do to stay motivated when you have to do a rather mundane task? Sorry, but I don't have any advice for that. However, motivation is typically defined with two parts, a directional part and a "seeking phase". Ahh I see, so if I find a suitable reason why I should do a task I will find motivation easier. That sounds good to me. :) Another thing is that the "wanting behavior" linked with a reward stimulus can be increased through tiny injections of dopaminergic drugs and dopamine. Ah that sounds a bit too scientific for me and I'm not interested in drugs lol. So what else is there to say about motivation?
knowledge: Motivation is the reason for people's actions, desires, and needs.
