sometimes i don't know if i should do things because the intrinsic or extrinsic satisfaction.perhaps there isn't much space for intrinsic rewards here because it's the extrinsic motivation that seems to drive people to where it is socially 'desirable'. so then there comes the dilemma between the need for doing what we really want (regardless of how well we are able to do it), and doing what we can but do not want to do.
i guess the best is doing things because of God. Truly, our destiny lies in His hands and gaining satisfaction because of Him is more desirable above all worldly desires.
yes, we are fatalistic by nature. yes, we surrender our fates to God. but no, we don't sit around and do nothing to improve ourselves. we put in effort, and do things, with the end in mind. InsyaAllah. may we succeed in life and the hereafter. :)
