<p>I think motivation often does not correlate with what one considers important. I am not a super motivated individual in a lot of areas (very motivated in others). But, sadly, some of the things that are most important to me are areas in which it’s difficult to motivate myself. Laziness? Probably. They are the harder, less pleasant things I have difficulty with. But they are still important to me.</p>
<p>S1 is a worker bee just like my H. He goes outside and does hard work (we live on a farm) just because it’s the thing to do. He lines himself up summer jobs, make top grades, etc. Some of these things aren’t so much important to him as they are things that just need to be done.</p>
<p>S2 is more like me…enjoys his computer time, etc. 
He has many things that are important to him, but he spends a lot of time trying to think of an easier way to do them…which often means they don’t get done.</p>
<p>D is adopted, and she isn’t like either one of us. In her case, if something is important to her, she is motivated to do it. Motivation correlates to importance.</p>
