The three Ps of Motivation

Let's categorize motives of people roughly in "doing it for the money" and "doing it for the fun" and we miss something essential. The third category of motivation, one that needs to remain vague and adventurous. Indeed: that other type of motivation has something to do with adventure. Not with just any treasure hunting or survival-in-the-wild undertaking, as they might be overshadowed by the "possession" (money) and "pleasure" aspects. What we mean is the kind of adventure that doesn't seem to have a clear material goal (but often a psychological). We mean the adventure that people feel the just have to do, an individual Quest that can't be replicated by anyone else. Perhaps this kind of adventure doesn't exist in its purity, perhaps it is only a minor aspect of a Gold Rush or Into the Wild.
