As for an answer, there are so many different answers and can come from all different perspectives (e.g, psychogical, sociological, philosophical, physiological). From my background, I have seen motivation be a big key to whether continues to take action, or whether they stop. Motivation from within is the strongest. Motivation from external sources is helpful as well and can help initiate, but to sustain, individuals often need more internal motivation. That can include having a sense that what ever you are doing is part of your identify, truly enjoying or being satisfied by the action. Then there is the whole part of increasing motivation, another story.

For me, if there is something I really want, nothing will stop me and I will get what I want. If there is something that I don't want, wild horses couldn't budge me and make me do it. If we want something, it's easy to come up with the motivation to do it. If it's something we don't want, there are a million excuses of why we can't do it. And, it's really, because we don't want to. Interesting and thought provoking quote. It really made me think.
