Intrinsic motivation aligns personal passions with work goals from "summary" of Drive by Daniel H. Pink

Intrinsic motivation is the powerful drive that comes from within. It is the deep-seated desire to pursue activities for their own sake, rather than for external rewards or pressures. When individuals are intrinsically motivated, they are more likely to be engaged, creative, and persistent in their endeavors. This type of motivation is fueled by personal passions and interests, which are unique to each individual. When personal passions align with work goals, individuals experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment in their work. They are able to tap into their intrinsic motivation to drive themselves towards achieving their goals. This alignment creates a harmonious relationship between what individuals love to do and what they need to do, resulting in increased satisfaction and performance. Intrinsic motivation enables individuals to bring their authentic selves to work, leading to greater creativity and innovation. When individuals are driven by their passions, they are more likely to take risks, think outside the box, and come up with fresh ideas. This can lead to breakthroughs and advancements that may not have been possible otherwise. By aligning personal passions with work goals, individuals are more likely to experience a sense of flow - a state of deep immersion and concentration in an activity. This state of flow is characterized by a sense of timelessness, effortless focus, and high productivity. When individuals are intrinsically motivated and in a state of flow, they are able to perform at their best and achieve exceptional results.
