Firefighters Can Teach Us a Lot About Motivation
Briefly

Motivation can stem from intrinsic desires or external factors, but true fulfillment often requires a balance, as external praise can undermine intrinsic satisfaction.
Firefighters exhibit resilience and self-efficacy, driven not solely by financial incentives but by a deep-rooted commitment to their community and helping others.
While external encouragement is important, relying too heavily on praise can diminish intrinsic motivation, leading individuals to question their sense of personal fulfillment.
Helping others during crises not only benefits those in need but also enriches the helper's sense of purpose and happiness in the long run.
