Humans are motivated by their survival instincts; some desires, that are the reason we do whatever we do, desires like hunger, fear, love, sex, comfort and validation. Those desires make us who we are, and without them we won't survive, but each of them should motivate you to achieve certain type of things. Fear for instance, it can't be your motivation to feel important and to achieve great success.
When you're afraid you act from a place of weakness, you become desperate, and you don't achieve what you want efficiently, because you feel a push that leads you to an imbalance in the aspects of your life, for example you might find yourself working extra hard and not having enough time for yourself or for the social aspect of your life, and people may hate you for it, which you're probably gonna be depressed about later and wouldn't be able to continue progressing in your plans with the same pace.
On the other hand there's love, which also motivates us to do anything. When you do something out of love, you do it with almost perfection, because then your motive becomes more than just surviving, you become motivated to do your best. For example if you're in a relationship, you love your partner, you would do what you can to make them happy, you become confident because your intention is pure love, you just want them to be happy, which makes you not afraid of losing them, while if your motivation is fear, all you want for the relationship is to survive, you're afraid of losing them, so you become doubtful, which simply threatens the relationship.
You see, when you're afraid you play in the danger zone, where it's either you just make it or you fail, but when you're loving you play in the excellence zone, where you're sure of success even if you lose because your purpose is to do your best, which the motivation of love simply provides the capability of.
Thanks!
