For you it's never actually been about the rewards. It's only and always been about seeing how far you can go. About achieving the impossible. About never stopping.
Take everything external away and you're still going to continue with the same intensity you always have. Give you everything -- fame, money, whatever else -- and it wont derail you.
Here's how to become the best at what you do:

"Necessity is the mother of invention." -- English Proverb
Your results aren't a reflection of your talent. Lots of people have talent. Few people, however, are required to rise to a difficult challenge.
Most people never put themselves in demanding situations -- situations that humble and scare you.
You need to put yourself into positions that create immense pressure. The kind of pressure that will either make or break you. This is how you purge out your weakness and small-mindedness. It won't be pretty. But it will change you. And eventually, you'll rise up. New. Changed. Better.

You need to be taking on challenges that require you to become so much more than you currently are. You need to put your back against the wall so you have no other choice but to produce.
This is how you evolve.
How do you put yourself into these situations? You initiate . You don't wait for life to come to you. You don't wait for the "next" opportunity.
You improve your current situation or "job" by providing actual value. You pitch ideas. You ask questions. You try and fail. You take on roles that require greater responsibility.

5. Never Forget Why You're Doing This
"So many times it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive"-- Survivor, Eye of the Tiger
It blows me away how often I see people throw their value-systems out the door in hopes for quick success.
When I see this happen, I already know these people won't succeed long-term. They clearly don't have a "why" -- or they forgot it. They don't have an inner compass. Consequently, they don't really know where they're headed. It's a destructive path.

Becoming the best is about never being satisfied with what you've done. It's about continually improving who you are.
It's knowing success will come because you know who you are and what you stand for.
It's about initiating -- continually creating situations that force you to become more than you currently are. Purging yourself of all your imperfections. Evolving.
This is your journey. Take it.
