My reasons to achieve a given goal X are to follow a vision that I have of my future. Those visions if I follow their reason, probably come into all 3 of the orwell categories. Which I guess is a good sign - it is very motivating if you can make your own life better, and others, and at the same time it feel like you are creating (being artistic).

The downside is I find it very hard to achieve a goal Y that has been pressured on to me by someone else. I just try to find ways to avoid that goal, or just passably do it :-)
