Only 1 motivation exists, after all

I believe only 2 kinds of motivations exist:

  1. to receive currency or other trade value unit
  2. to achieve a personal growth (a peace of mind)

Anything else is just an indirect path to the same finish, and these two mentioned actually almost always overlap. Like working 3 jobs to save money for your children’s study, for them to achieve growth and receive easy money, and for you to finally achieve the peace of mind. And so, we can nail the motivation types to just one, because receiving money is, in fact, just a way to reach the personal growth or the peace of mind.

Lives without motivations are not worth much. Set a long term goal, start working on it today and stick to it. Plans may change overtime, but always having at least one will ensure that you’re motivated. Ikea started as a teenager selling matches on the street. High motivation was what made it the largest furniture maker in the world.
