TOPUCU, Increasing Your Odds, Episode 31
Manage episode 429249509 series 3563165
How many times do we do this on a daily basis? We literally weigh the reward and odds of success against the hard work it’s going to take to achieve them. These three things are the components of motivation: odds of success, reward and hard work. And if you can understand how they relate to each other then you are on your way to making a change. So let’s break it down.
Think about it like this – imagine the scales of justice. If you don’t know what they look like, do a quick Internet image search and you’ll understand immediately. Now take your two hands and hold them out just like the scales – your left hand to your left, your right hand to your right. Yes, you need to do this. The physical act of doing this exercise will help you visualize and internalize the formula. Now in your right hand, place two parts of the formula – the reward and the “odds of success.” In your left hand, place the third part of the formula, the words “hard work.”
