What do you do to motivate yourself to achieve your goals in life? was there ever a time in your life that you just feel uninspired or you just don't know where you're headed to? what did you do about it?

just take ten mins to chill.. and ask myself what would make me happy..

there are times when the things that used to motivate you doesn't work anymore ... i used to think change was good from time to time to infuse a fresh outlook on things ... but too much change is not good all the time

if you are having trouble motivating yourself.. perhaps there is something deeper that needs addressing. A stress that needs dealing with or the right piece to fit your puzzle..

yeah ...i need to search for that missing piece of my puzzle ... the problem is that I don't know how that puzzle is supposed to look like ... it's not like those that you buy from shops with the picture on the box ... what if the picture on the box is the wrong one?

This is puzzling! Have you got a puzzle, or not?
Have you got a bit missing, or not?
Did they just put the wrong puzzle in the wrong box?
(Oh, OK, I’m kidding! Or you can take it as a metaphor for your problem!)

Life is just one long puzzle; nobody gives us a manual or a definitive picture to work with; and there are always bits missing. But we make it up as we go along.
If you’re not going along, or don’t know where you’re going, or don’t like where you are going – you are the only one who can sort that out.
You can get some help, but it stops with you – because you’re the one who knows your life and can decide what you want.
First, keep doing all the mundane things (if you can): eat, sleep, exercise, and work, etc. But take some time out: go and see some of those lovely foreign films!
Second talk: talk to someone. If you can’t or won’t talk to your family or friends, get some professional help. This need not cost money. You can ask to see a counsellor at your doctor’s surgery. Or you could try Relate, or Citizens Advice Bureau. Search around: there will be someone there to help.
Then you wait and you wait. Go and see some more French and Spanish films!
It’ll come to you – what you must do.

If it doesn’t… Well, look on the bright side!
You’ll be an expert on world movies!

I struggle a lot to work, but if I hear a song that really does sends chills up my spine (in the good way), that would definitely motivate me.... in a way it sorts of gives me new energy

I'm very close in getting a career that I have always wanted since a kid, but before this (Jan-June 2008, exactly) I was doing nothing as I dropped out of college for personal reasons and felt as if I wasn't going anywhere and the rest of my life will be spent going from job-to-job earning the absolute bare minimum. So, I sat down, I looked at what I've always wanted to do and what I want in the foreseeable future and therefore I set myself mini-goals, and now I'm very close to getting that career (not putting all my eggs in one basket, mind).

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but hope it helps!

Basically, what I'm saying is I look at what I want in life and do what I possibly can to get it, whether it be setting mini-goals or talking to other people to gain advice. Hope I don't sound like a snob or anything..

I just keep telling myself it will get better...and sure as eggs are eggs it does, it all comes out in the wash eventually

I look in the mirror.
