Find an early, exciting startup that's growing fast! As your post suggests, personal motivation often correlates with a startup's momentum. When the team is consistently winning, the effort feels worthwhile. :)

Plus your experience from the last few years would be really valuable to other early-stage startups, and enable you to grow quickly as a leader.
