Struggling with finding my "WHY"

"Don't confuse WHY with a DESIRE. DESIRES are often superficial and transient, whereas WHYS are firm and transcendent through time.

This made the wheels in my head turn. 2 years ago, I had drive, because I had a strong WHY: Become location independent, leave Germany and move to Thailand.

I worked all day, almost every day, until I reached that goal.

Now I live pretty comfortably, location independent and most of my income is passive and I just not have much drive anymore.

When I thought about that quote: I thought about what I want:
Earn a lot more money. Become a multi-millionaire.

But, I could not come up with a why, at least not a strong one. My life is already pretty comfortable and I am not someone who spends a lot of money, so earning a lot of money would not impact my lifestyle that much.

I also thought about other motivators like helping others, especially my family. The thought ist "nice" but it does not give me drive.
More money would essentially mean more security for me, but I consider myself not someone who needs a lot of that.

So, long story short: Any advice on how to find or create strong WHYs?
