Is your goal to be successful enough to do anything you want?
Or is your goal to be successful enough to do the work you want?
Purely selfish motivation doesn’t sustain. It can’t. It’s a closed system designed to implode.
On the other hand, work is tied to contribution. Contribution is tied to other people and to the culture. Work and contribution scale. Building blocks of the good. It’s inward AND outward reaching. And it can scale to infinity.
You get to choose why you’re working.
