How does motivation differ from stress?

The phrase, 'what keeps you up at night?' That is not the way I view that phrase. It's what gets you up in the morning. Nothing should keep you up at night. Sleep and rest should be a thing. It should be: What gets you out of bed? What motivates you? What are you thinking about to motivate you for that day? If it's keeping up at night, then you are worried. If it's getting you up in the morning, then you are motivated. And when you approach that moment where you can uniquely apply your identity to a situation that requires those levers to be pulled, and those configurations of the situation to be applied to get an outcome, if you are the one or one of many who can uniquely apply skills to get that outcome, then I think that's a moment of brightness. Because you think, "I can do this. I can have an effect. I can help the outcome." And then your intrinsic motivation comes in, and that's a learning opportunity. "Maybe I can assimilate skill or knowledge, and then I can pass that on."
