Focus on your joy above lesser motivations. Purpose-driven performance will give you reasons to do what you are doing better and for longer than you would for a lesser motivation. How much of your behavior is based on your purpose, and how much is due to the expectations of others?
A person who operates for their own joy does not need to be motivated, promoted, or punished by others. They do not need to be supervised or micromanaged. They will do their best whether anyone is watching or not, and will also do their best no matter who might be offended by it.
Focus on your joy above others’ expectations. If you are doing something because it is the greatest contribution you can make to your joy, you are going to do it very differently than you would if you were just trying to avoid negative feedback from others. Sometimes, purpose-driven performance will require you to do what others will dislike and maybe even hate you for. Whenever you face a conflict between the expectations of others and your purpose, always go with your purpose.
