1. There are such things as false motivations. I guess they are not entirely false, but they are more ephemeral. For example, people doing medical or law school for the money. I do not think an explanation here is necessary.
2. Of course, such a motivation cannot be deemed as bad or poor. I mean for each person, the motivations are different. However, certain motivations last a lifetime and certain are bound to disappear and reappear in one’s life.
3. The suggestion is one to find one that is eternal, but to recognize these motivational “states”. That is, look at why you are motivated and how long this particular motivation will last before doing something quite silly.
