Motivation is the core of all action. You eat because something motivates you to alleviate the discomfort of having an empty belly. You buy flowers for your wife because you are motivated to make her think highly of you. You study for a test because you are motivated to make an A. If you think about it, most motivation comes from goals or chance of getting some reward for your effort. Obviously, a prerequisite is believing you are capable of reaching the goal.
