Fleeting Motivators

We're all driven by different motivators to create - to succeed in our chosen careers. For some, it's the desire to make their communities a better place to live. Others are driven by extrinsic factors like fame, money, or notoriety. Some are even galvanized by anger; a commitment to proving the naysayers wrong.

I'm not placing judgement on what drives you. But in my own observations, I've noticed that all are fleeting. They come and go because their foundations are built on emotion. And emotions by nature are capricious - ever-changing.

Seeing something you care about all the way through from beginning to end will be require reminding yourself of your, "Intrinsic Why," over and over - through thick and thin.

How does what you want line up with your values, core principles? In other words, what does what you want say about you?

Figure that out and it'll be hard to stop you.
