1. I don’t do everything in your list. In fact retrospectively I’d say I’ve allocated much more time and energy into building things than nurturing friendships and relationships.
I have a general interest in how things work so my behaviour is largely self motivating.
When I wake up every day I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything. I have an urge to aim as high as possible because I want to literally change the world in some way. So I set large goals and grind away until I achieve them. I get dopamine from achieving things people thought weren’t possible in timeframes people assume are unrealistic. So I relentlessly pursue this.
I find spite is a great motivator as well. I often think about people that have wronged me in some way and channel that energy into the work that I do. It’s very effective.
