Here key systems:

• Aristotle's seven causes: Seven factors that motivate.
• Beliefs: are 'assumed truths' on which our understanding of the world is founded.
• Emotions: are the fundamental internal systems that kick us into action.
• Extrinsic Motivation: Driven by external factors.
• Goals: that we set ourselves to achieve our needs.
• Interest: those things that attract our attention.
• Intrinsic Motivation: Driven by internal factors.
• Motivating gaps: It's the gaps that drive us forward.
• Needs: are the pre-programmed drivers that evolution has given us.
• Values: are the social rules that we live by that enable our tribal societies to function.
