what is your motivation to fly ?

do you fellow professional helicopter pilots fly a helicopter

1) to enrich your life?

or

2) to define your life?


when I started to fly it was absolutely the latter but as time went on it has shifted completely to the former.
I think that is the normal profile, but several people people I have met do not seem to have a sense of wanting to be paid properly for what they do, others seem to have an excessive interest in "4 gold bars" and being seen wearing them.
I can only assume they are stuck in 2) and have not made the normal transition to 1).

what do the panel think ? is this making sense or am I talking horse***t or what?
