Ep #14 - Why is motivation a myth? Or is it‪?‬ The Why Coordinate

Have you ever been at a crossroad in life, in which you need to decide between something you "want to do" vs something you "have to do"? What do you choose? Does intrinsic motivation play a defining factor in this decision? Or do you look at things more logically - looking at the long term implications? Today, a fellow podcaster Mohan Wang (IG: @mavislightyear) shares her personal experiences with how her choices in life have helped shape her career, and have been driven by her intrinsic interest. We also discuss the implications of short-term and long-term gratification on our life decisions, and share our thoughts on what should we favor in various situations in life.

We hope you enjoy it and stick around for future episodes! Feel free to give us some feedback on our email thewhycoordinate@gmail.com or by sending us a DM on Instagram @thewhycoordinate.
