I am motivated by my emotions processed by my reason. I think about how to improve things for me, for people around me, and for people in the distance. That is sufficient to keep me moving. Not sure if this answers your question.
In the meanwhile, although I expect AI to be a game changer, I guess I am mostly working for the Everett branches where life somehow turns out to remain normal?
If we somehow get the good kind of singularity, my meaning of life will be to have fun. There are lots of things I would like to do: read books, watch movies, play computer games, learn all kinds of things, etc.
In my life, there is almost zero connection between “the meaning of life” and “a job”. I see the jobs as a necessity, but I identify with the things I do in my free time. At work, someone else is the boss (I don’t have the skills necessary to start a successful company), so ultimately it is their right to screw it up in any way they choose to. I try not to get emotionally invested in things that are beyond my control.

I wish I will find a way to identify with the things I do in my free time too 🫠
