How driven are you? And what drives you to do things or act things out?

1 - I would say that in elementary school, I was productive due to curiosity, interest and enjoyment doing academic things.

2 - In middle school, it was praise, and self-validation that drove me to do well in school.

3 - In high school, it was survival, and the ability to eat and live that motivated me to do well in school.

4 - In university, it was the desire to live a religious lifestyle that motivated me to do well in school.

5 - After graduation, it was the desire to support a future family and show love to future kids I might have that motivated me to be productive at life, since living selfishly had lost its charm and I began to think the selfish lifestyle was super boring and uninteresting.

I am pretty driven. It took me along time to graduated from college. I had to dropout twice for financial reasons but I figured out a way to finish, Then I went right back and got my masters degree. I was a fat kid but I lost weight and got in shape. I could run a marathon in 3:03..

Your evolving motivations align with personal growth and changing life stages. As a child, curiosity and enjoyment fuel exploration. Later, social validation and survival become key drivers. Eventually, deeper values like religion and family influence your pursuits. For me, continued learning and guiding others on their paths have always driven me. Understanding what truly matters at each life stage helps align actions with values for a fulfilling journey.
