Imagine the motivation you would get if people from the future suddenly started turning up trying to kill you.
“My god, I’m hot shit, I’d better get on with it.”
Then you just start inventing stuff, writing music, starting a political career, and travelling the world desperately trying to figure out what it is that you’re famous for. This results in international fame and fortune, and the attention of lots of women. But suddenly after sleeping around the time travelling assassin stopped coming. And it turns out that you’re the grandfather and their trying to stop you much better protected grandchild.
Once the child is born then they are no longer interested in you.
