Question Posted Thursday November 4 2004, 12:38 am
What would be the best way to fix a motivation problem...or lack thereof. I am never fully motivated or try my best at anything. How would you fix that? If I was fully motivated I could be awesome at anything but I just dont have the urge to try.

Why don't you have the urge? Have you always been like this?
Try joining a mailing list for inspirational and motivational quotes, like: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
There are plenty more out there.
Some of the words which inspired and motivated me where:
"We may be disappointed if we fail, but we are doomed if we don't try."
- Beverly Sills
"Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be; because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want in life."
Try doing things for other people, like community service. Working in a soup kitchen for homeless people will do wonders for anyone's hang-ups. I know I've tried it myself.
The only advice I can give you is that you need to find what motivates YOU. Whether it be academics, arts, or just simply helping other people. [ WiseWoman's advice column | Ask WiseWoman A Question ]
