To me, being self-driven is to be able to actualize a goal, and for lack of a better term, to drive yourself towards it. That means having a lot of determination, it means to not let yourself get knocked over and to get back up. There's going to be a lot of roadblocks in a road, but you're going to have to drive yourself through it and to get to the other side, it's just going to require some grit. You just need to really want it.
