What drives you?
What comes to mind when someone says, "She's really driven" about another? Is it an admirable quality? Or do you envision a greedy, ambitious, and unlikable sort? I don't see Jesus as driven. Jesus was 100% submissive to His Father's will. Submission. There's a word you don't hear too often these days. Submission sounds like we're weak, like we have no backbone - like we're a milquetoast. But Jesus' power came through His connection and obedience to His Heavenly Father. Obedience implies submission. Jesus' miracle-working power came through His divine connection to God. Could Jesus "take" His own power and use it? I'm sure He could have done so. But Jesus was all-wise.
