Internal motivation is a good one. I think the main symptom of internal motivation is that you enjoy the doing not the having. ie I enjoy playing guitar because I like the experience. The goal is not to be a good guitarist, the goal is to play guitar. The latter will tend towards the former, but not the other way around.
