This is the poison of external recognition... The internal drive is: you don’t have to wake me up or tap my shoulder to get ready for practice. I’m driven. The rewards are the unlock, the love affair with figuring things out. If I really love that, I’ve got to keep going to the edge. That’s where it happens most often. Those are harder to come by because the world outside is giving us lots of externals. “You need to do this, you’re so amazing, are you ready for next week’s game?” All that external noise definitely clouds the internal signal .
