Motivation is basically a psychological factor or feature that induces any organism to take necessary actions to achieve certain objectives or goals. It brings out, controls, and maintains all the behaviors of any organism to achieve its goals. It is actually the driving force of the universe and organisms living in it.
One of the most basic motivations for any organism, including human beings, is hunger. Hunger elicits the motivation to eat, which requires some kind of action or effort on the part of the organism to get the food required to satiate the hunger. As such, it is the psychological cause or purpose of any action by any living organism.
Extrinsic motivation allows people to perform activities with the explicit aim of attaining a specific outcome. The most common extrinsic motivating factors are either rewards for achieving something or threat of punishment for failure. Competition is a powerful extrinsic motivator, where an individual beats others and proves superiority, even though there might be no intrinsic motivator to win.
Logistikon discerns between the real things and the apparent and identifies truth and falsehood to make wise decisions on the basis of the love for goodness. The spirited part of soul brings out emotions like anger, hatred, etc. The appetitive part of soul allows us to experience various feelings such as hunger, thirst, carnal erotic love, and other desires like money making that are opposed to Logistikon. The appetitive part is the motivation for our actions.
The inner conditions of the mind, such as desires, wishes, goals, ambitions, perspectives, etc. activate the living organisms to move in a specific direction, act in a particular manner, or behavior in a certain fashion. Still, these motivations could be due to either fully conscious or totally unconscious activities. The unconscious actions could result from basic evolutionary calculations, while conscious actions could stem from positive or even benign emotions.
An example of such unconscious or conscious motivation is marriage or wedding. A person having genes that desire multiple partners would marry and then break up, rationalizing the behavior with a false conviction 'I loved the other person at that time'. As such, it is a deep subject in psychology that should be studied and analyzed carefully.
