 Some years my drive is higher then others.  Each year for me is what it is.  Some years I'm relentless, some years I just fish hard.  And I think that's normal.  Family and work sometimes take people off their game a bit.
There's nothing in particular, for me at least, that kicks my drive to fish up a notch, short of slobs terrorizing the Rhode Island coastline...
