Inner motivations
“When we aren’t distracted by culture, we move directly toward fulfilling our innate longing. When we’re craving things we’ve been taught to want, we lose track of our inner motivations entirely, and may spend a lifetime pursuing rewards that never make us feel truly fulfilled.” ~Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity
