What if fulfillment/satisfaction/happiness in your career/creativity isn’t supposed to come from accomplishment (the when I make it big I’ll be satisfied) but from within you, through exploration and discovery and appreciation of self and varied experiences in the thing that you are passionate about. Sort of a different way of saying it’s not about the destination but the journey. Truth is there will always be more that you want to accomplish and it’s easy to feel that you have not accomplished enough and while you have a very valid point about letting that be the thing that drives you, and could very well be the thing that keeps you from ever being fully satisfied, you could chose to look at it differently and let the experiences themselves be the joy instead of chasing the desired result of the experience. Self expression is a beautiful thing no matter how it is received by the outside world. I know you do what you do because you love it, keep doing what you love simply because you love it and that is where the success happens. Stop and smell the roses, don’t just work your ass off to grow the perfect garden and not take time to enjoy what you’ve created

But what if I want to be a dick?
I’ve know you for years. I know you are beyond help!
You've done a lot of great work! If you don't see that then I'll keep reminding you
