I would say my fiery youthful zeal for comics has tempered down abt 20% to a cool but focused enthusiasm lol

Gradually increase as I got over being afraid of failure and appreciated more the sheer unpredictablity of life

I almost don't believe the plurality saying their drive has increased. Everything becomes less meaningful from up close.
-
I suspect people peak in drive ~28-30. You’re past imposter syndrome and insecurity but cynicism and bigger failures haven’t yet hit. You’re still early career/high potential. So 22-28 answers should be gains.

20: angry ambitious reckless, living with parents + military allowance 22: married with mortgage, overwhelmed by startup job, creative output drops 80%, ambition remains(?) 25: ambition has taken a beating- plans for world domination now replaced by desire for creative survival
-
28: soon leaving work and going nomad-barbarian for 6 months to try and rekindle 20yo ambition with 28yo nuance. Net effect I think will be 400%+ despite decrease in sheer lifeforce (which I think should be 90% recovered in a month of no commutes + good sleep and exercise)

Gained drive but have exchanged multidirectional idealism and outrage for focused effort and contextualization

Depended on job. Most jobs I had slowly destroyed drive. Would leave and restore it. Now self employed and how I define drive changed completely. Drive now for creativity rather than rewards
