What is passionate motivation? Why do we need passionate motivation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In The Talent Code<\/em>, Daniel Coyle says that meaningful practice takes significant time, patience, and effort. He found that this level of commitment requires a special type of motivation<\/a> called passionate motivation, also known as impassioned motivation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Passionate Motivation?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coyle describes passionate motivation as the \u201cwhy\u201d that inspires someone\u2019s long, difficult commitment to building talent: Passion<\/em> sparks their desire to achieve, and motivation<\/em> fuels the hard work and perseverance necessary to reach a long-term goal<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: In Grit<\/em><\/a>, Angela Duckworth explains that in the context of personal growth<\/a>, \u201cpassion\u201d isn\u2019t enthusiasm (as many people think), but rather endurance<\/em>. She argues that it\u2019s less about the intensity of your commitment to your goals and more about the consistency of your commitment<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Passionate motivation doesn\u2019t appear out of nowhere. Rather, Coyle argues, it builds from the environmental signals <\/em>you receive throughout your life\u2014messaging about what is \u201cvaluable\u201d or what\u2019s expected of you. You pick up on these messages, often subconsciously, and use them to inform who you aspire to be.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coyle argues that an \u201caspirational self\u201d built from your environmental signals produces two factors essential for sparking the passion and motivation necessary for you to commit to years of meaningful practice: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. The desire to belong to a valued, high-achieving group: <\/strong>Not only can you belong to this group, but you can also<\/em> be considered highly valuable if you put in the work to develop your talent. <\/li>
  2. The belief that someday you<\/strong> can<\/em><\/strong> achieve this belonging: <\/strong>Often, environments that spark impassioned motivation have produced high-achieving members. This sends the signal that\u2014again, with hard work to develop your talent\u2014someone like you<\/em> can succeed.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: The desire to align with what\u2019s valuable and expected in your society in order to belong<\/em> to your social group is an innate human need<\/a>. It enabled our ancestors to survive and has been passed down to us through evolution. This is why the desire to belong to a high-achieving group is so motivating\u2014it\u2019s a hardwired need that touches the very core of who you are<\/a> and how you relate to others.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if you\u2019re a soccer player who grew up in an environment that highly values a couple of local players who made it big, you\u2019ll likely have a desire to belong to this valued group. And, because the stars were once playing in the same local leagues you\u2019re in, you know it can<\/em> happen with hard work and commitment. Likewise, if you studied physics at a school that lauds its Nobel Prize-winning graduates, you\u2019ll internalize a desire to join their ranks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Does Believing in Yourself Really Matter?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Coyle\u2019s second motivator of belief<\/em> is just as important as desire to belong. In Outliers<\/em><\/a>, Malcolm Gladwell discusses the way that belief in your abilities<\/a> can create self-fulfilling prophecies. He explains that children who believe that they\u2019re bad at something will never practice it\u2014therefore, they\u2019ll never improve at it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Meanwhile, children who get attention and praise from teachers and parents believe <\/em>that they\u2019re talented and smart, so they act as if they are<\/a>. This leads them to practice\u2014and develop the talent or intellect they believed <\/em>they already possessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Passionate Motivation Has the Power to Create Talent Epicenters<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    According to Coyle, passionate motivation doesn\u2019t just drive individuals<\/em> toward the commitment necessary to developing exceptional talent. Applied to a group<\/em>\u2014such as a school, town, or family\u2014impassioned motivation can create an epicenter<\/em> where numerous people develop extraordinary talent<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Coyle notes two sources of passionate motivation in groups: a breakthrough talent and competition and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Breakthrough Talent<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Seeing others achieve greatness can be highly motivating. This doesn\u2019t just work on the individual level, though\u2014this is often a driver of  \u201ctalent epicenters.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When one person in a community develops extraordinary talent and gains fame, she sends a key environmental signal to her community: Someone \u201clike them\u201d or from their background can<\/em> succeed. This sparks passionate motivation within the community\u2014members showing a desire to join her ranks and a belief that they can<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Coyle explains that this is why, in his research, he often found cases of one <\/em>breakthrough talent finding recognition\u2014and then seven to 10 years later, many others from the same community following suit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: According to research, exceptional success within your community can be motivating because it piques interest and curiosity<\/em><\/a>. First, because the success is \u201cclose to home,\u201d it\u2019s more interesting than a success that\u2019s not related to you in any way. Second, seeing someone from your background succeed prompts you to ask questions to understand how they did that\u2014setting you up to follow similar steps.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Collaboration and Competition<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Coyle notes that another contributor to talent epicenters is continuously-present challenge. Often, groups of exceptionally talented individuals are found in environments where they are constantly exposed to each other\u2019s talent, so they both collaborate and<\/em> compete with one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In this type of environment, group members are driven to prove their belonging among the high-achievers, repeatedly rising to the challenge of meeting the talent and ability of their competitors. In other words, their environment creates consistent, challenging repetition at the edge of their ability.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: This upward spiral of competency, where each opponent provokes the other to learn and grow, demonstrates a virtuous cycle<\/a>: a feedback loop where each element positively benefits the others. So while having a ferocious rival may feel like an obstacle to your success on the surface, they\u2019re in fact a huge part of what drives your growth. The heights of any discipline grow through competition; without that back-and-forth, the skill would stagnate.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
