For example, God sent Jesus to earth to die for our sins because of love. The devil is what he is today because of pride or ego. Many people are groveling for power because of the lust they have for the benefits of power. Some guys chase after women because of ego and lust. The list is continuous.
If I were to personalise all these, I can say I have been driven by some of those fuels mentioned. But statistically, I can say love is the leading fuel, followed by purpose, religion, and ego (to a very minimal extent). Yes I have lusted, I have been really angry, and I've been vengeful. But I can't remember allowing any of those fuels drive me to do things. Not because I am perfect, or trying to sound right, but because I learned early that actions taken when driven by lust, anger, vengeance almost usually turns out hurting me in the process. So why allow let fuels that hurt me drive me to take actions that will hurt me more? So when I feel those "fuels" whelming up, I do everything I can to dissipate them before taking any significant action.
For the things I'm pursuing currently, purpose, and love are my driving force. I can't go into details right now, but because of purpose, and because I love what I'm doing I feel energised to keep going even in the face of hurdles, no matter how many.
