Everyone always needs something. No one is "completely satisfied". So it's impossible to get to the level where you just do things "for their own sake".
As you said in your example, that you think "it' right to channel art into the world". But why is that? Why do you like art so much? Isn't it because you feel well when doing art? You may not have DW motivation; you may want to make people see how good for them art is. In that case, it's a LW motivation. Whether it's DW or LW, one of these is behind what you do, you just need to dig enough to find it.
