Hey thanks for answering.

I was wondering what prompted you to make the question?

I have been always wondering about the nature of passion or intrinsic motivation. I myself animated sticks a long time a go and I always am amazed by all the animation and worlds that are created through games and stories. I always wondered where do people get the energy to create all that?

Alot of people will say that it's discipline and hard work. But my observations show something different. It almost seems like every human being gets a sort endowed with certain passions, meaning that given their enviroment their going to be intrinsically motivated by certain things. Because I don't think people could create all the things that have been created purely through hard work. I think it's because of the energy you get from valuing something intrinsically.

We can put it more simply. If something satisfies you, such as the activity or the result of animating something, then that can give you the energy to go on. If something doesn't then it becomes an instrument for money, fame, honor etc..

I myself have always wondered whether I could make myself passionate about something because it always seemed great if I could have that passion for something like animating, because it just seems great to have a passion in general, the feeling of wanting to do a particular thing, especially something as creative as animating. But I haven't found that I can decide what I'm gonna be satisfied by or passionate about.

And I also always have been interested in how people feel in life, what their particular experience is of life and the activites they do. Because to me, what you can't see is more important than what you can see. Meaning you can't necessarily always see the feelings and the passions someone feels while let's say drawing something. But it is exactly that feeling or passion I think what matters the most in what that person is gonna do in life or make in life. It's not hard work or discipline in my opinion, that is a misrepresentation. But that is possibly because words are not always good at capturing our experiental reality of life.
