Do you know what truly drives your choices — or are you running on autopilot?


Many of us push through life’s challenges without ever stopping to ask why we do what we do. 


We chase goals, endure setbacks, and fight to keep moving forward — but without understanding our deepest sources of motivation, we risk feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or lost when the excitement fades.


Motivation can take many forms. For some, it’s the rush of achievement — hitting milestones and proving what’s possible. 


For others, it’s the need for recognition, the validation that comes from being seen and valued. Some are driven by curiosity and growth, eager to learn and master new skills, while many draw strength from relationships — the desire to love, support, and uplift those who matter most.


This quiz is designed to strip back the layers and reveal what truly fuels your determination. 


By reflecting on a series of thought-provoking questions, you’ll uncover whether your motivation is grounded in achievement, recognition, personal growth, or connection — and learn how to harness it with greater clarity and purpose.


So ask yourself: are you chasing goals that reflect your true drive, or simply following what others expect of you?
