It's easier for some, more than others, to fixate on a powerful 
image of an ideal self.

It may be, that your brain is not wired in such a way, that it 
makes it easy for you to fixate on yourself.

That's not necessarily a bad thing ;-)

My hapiness and motivation has certainly *not* come from fixating 
on an ideal image of myself. Nor do I want a fixation on myself 
to be the motivating force in my life.

Any focus on myself, has typically always been due to a necessity 
(to focus on myself) - ie. Because of the need to eat, sleep, 
earn money, have somewhere to live, etc.....). I'm not sure the 
'self' deserves much more attention than that.

In any case, be warned : Once you get those connections 
activating in your left prefrontal cortex.. you're going to be 
stuck with them.
