That's something! Certainly not "nothing".
Though, to be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "intellectual motivation". Can you clarify?

In my case, I am motivated by my desire to grow spiritually and help other people do the same. I feel like my desire itself stems from a place/thing/force that I am a part of, but which is larger than I am as an individual.
In your case, it depends upon where you are in your own life and mind. (I don't feel like I have enough information about you.) You say that your previous motivation was to find the root of your motivations. Why were you motivated to do that? And why do you think that when you found that it was all ego based, that it went away? Do you have a belief about ego that says it is bad or wrong or unworthy? Do you believe in God or love or fate?
