The usual, I guess.
a) I wanted to create an amazing life for myself,
b) I wanted to know and do everything,
c) I wanted to work on making this world a better place,
d) I wanted to become a billionaire.
I had this picture in my head of what my life
should be like, and I had an inner knowing that I could do anything I wanted, despite my very dissapointing and unfavourable external reality.
Personal development was the obvious first step to get myself from theory to action. Oh, how I've grown since that time. Big hug!
