Going with that analogy, there are a lot of different fuels you can use. Using dissatisfaction or self-loathing may be an effective fuel, but it tends to be like putting NOS in your engine. You can go really fast, but you are likely doing long-term damage to the engine or risking catastrophic failure. Perhaps a good strategy for a 30-second street race, but not a good one for a cross-country road trip.
Most things in life are more like the latter than the former, and most people eventually figure out that it's better to motivate yourself using compassion for yourself and others instead of anger.
