See: vorfreude.
So the thrill is in the chase? Will my hunt end in a soul crushing anti-climax, as I find that having achieved my goals leaves me with nothing left to strive for?

It just seems to be the main killer of the joy that possibility brings, at least in my case.

Or just doubt in general, I guess self-doubt doesn't relate to pedals.

Ah I gotcha.

"The more fear we feel about a specific enterprise, the more certain we can be that that enterprise is important to us and to the growth of our soul. That's why we feel so much Resistance. If it meant nothing to us, there'd be no Resistance." --Steven Pressfield

Another way of putting this (I think I read this on ILF) is that video games teach you that the continued presence of obstacles and enemies usually means you're headed in the right direction.
