Purpose or Fear?

Whenever you do something, whether it be studies or work, what drives you? Is it purpose, or fear? Most of the people in today's world are driven by fear. They do something because they fear what will happen if they don't do it. I won't get a promotion if I don't work. I won't get good grades if I don't study. I think, being driven by a purpose is more fun, and hence, more productive. It's like pushing a car. You might be pushing a car for two reasons - either for taking it forward, or for stopping it from running over you. In the first case, you have no liability. If you don't push the car, it simple won't move. But in the second case, you have to push it - otherwise you will get injured. You have a fear in the second case, that if you don't push, the car will run over you. In the first case, you just have a purpose for pushing it - to take it forward. There will be no liabilities if you have a purpose. You have nothing to lose - only to gain. While if you are driven by a fear, you have everything to lose, and nothing to gain. You will be at your best if you don't lose anything, forget about gaining something. So, you should be doing something because you want the result of doing that work. You should not be driven because you don't want the result of not doing the work.
