 Motivation Dynamics arise from the nature of positive and negative wants, the ways in which they deviate from the line of tranquility, and the use of satisfiers to reduce the level of motivation back to the line of tranquility. There are many wants on the line of tranquility. Over time, under specific circunstances, a want can deviate from tranquility and motivate action. Extreme wants (outside of the ethical zone) produce extreme action. The ethical zone can be increased through the practices of self-discipline.
