They're aligned with your true nature.
And they tend to be things like, I want to make a difference in the world.
I want to help people.
I want to support my community.
I want to be there for my family.
I want to invest in my relationships.
I want to grow as a person.
And these intrinsic goals are significantly more likely to make you a happy person and to make a difference in the lives of those around you.
It's fine to enjoy those moments when they happen, right?
It's great to celebrate when something goes well and when you're able to make an experience or an impact or a sale or whatever it is.
The problem lies with staking our happiness on them.
And then the things that we do in order to do that tend to backfire and make us miserable.
And so if you're finding yourself, again, the hamster wheel is kind of a good analogy here because if you're always chasing something
and you're waiting for the next thing to sort of hit in order to feel good about yourself, that's a sign that you might want to refocus more on an intrinsic goal.
And it's going to be a little bit of a slower burn of happiness, but it's also going to last for much longer.
So if these short-term extrinsic goals are like little hits of really highs and then really, really low lows,
intrinsic goals are more like the slope of climbing a mountain where it takes a little bit longer to gain the same elevation, but you keep going and the happiness keeps building and you end up feeling that great sense of accomplishment.
And so the more that you can in those moments where you're like, oh, I've been hooked on an extrinsic goal, refocus on something that really does matter to you and that comes from within you.
It can absolutely be an intrinsic goal.
It just depends on where it comes from.
