I've been thinking a lot about this Nietzsche quote lately:

> You great star, what would your happiness be had you not those for whom you shine?

This has made me question not a lack of internal motivation, but an abundance of external motivation. i.e. examining what ways I am motivated by how others will perceive me.

I am trying to appreciate the "eating straight from the packet" state of mind.
