..... Because I'm not certain what motivates me !

The common feedback I get is that this is a problem but I still persist in my projects so I guess the real problem is that 'I can't articulate what motivates me' rather than 'I'm not motivated'.

It would be good to actually pin it down just so I understand myself a bit better. The thing that 'feels' closest is the idea that I want autonomy and control since I logically appreciate the value in those things.

Any advice on how to drill into this type of thinking and home in on the answer ? Thanks
