The Core of Internal Drive

Intrinsic motivation, the inherent desire to engage in an activity that one finds enjoyable and satisfying, serves as a cornerstone for personal fulfillment and professional success. Imagine embarking on a challenging project not for external rewards but purely out of curiosity and passion; this is the power of intrinsic motivation.
