Lack of Motivation

Im usually lazy... I hate Gym never was able to be dedicated to it and wasnt taking it seriously.. I stopped and then sometime later i started kick boxing for 2 months, liked it got dedicated to it and then lost my job and ran out of funds to continue it... I tried exercising at home but at home i get lazy and demotivated... I stared slowly to lose interest and now its been 2 months and i didnt do anything... I just feel like my lack of motivation and laziness is a problem that hinders me from moving ahead in many things... Im not a hard worker or at least i cannot find something id have a passion in to dedicate myself for... When im passionate about something i work hard on it but when i see challenges ahead i tend to give up often... Thats a problem in my opinion cuz it reflected on many aspects in life... I push myself to go ahead but then a matter of time i switch back to the old lazy mode.. I think the fact im unemployed and broke are the reason why i dont do much? i dunno, i dont even feel like planning out for the future or seeking something productive enough to do in my freetime.. Not the mention the smoking habit which i cannot let go and the lack of stamina..

thank you for sharing. Being broke and unemployed can definitely make you lazy and sad. You need a job, or some way to make some money. Money does buy happiness, or in other words it offers comfort and stability, which bring happiness.......

join the military perhaps? That's what I ended up having to do. Or I would have been living on the street instead of my car.

I bothered by the fact i cant do something productive with the time being lost.. Im searching and applying for jobs everyday though... I have always honored the army, felt like its something that completes an individual.. But i live with my family away from my home country..

I'm sorry to hear that. If worse comes to worst, my advice is to join the military. It saves the falling. I think most people who join came because they had no other choice.

So I wish you luck finding your passion just as I am also searching for mine...for some, it never gets found. So it's not like we'd be the only ones if it happened lol.

I joined the military, too.

It worked out pretty good.

Sometimes, I wished I would've stayed in 20 years and retired.

Me too but I think I'm more happy to be out of a contract.

I hear of quite a few shy/social phobic people joining the military. I don't think it would have suited me for a number of reasons.

• I don't appreciate being told that I have to do things. Telling me I have to do something is usually good way of making sure I do the exact opposite.
  
• I like the option of being a quitter. If my job is really p***ing me off, I know I can just walk. I don't believe that's an option in the military. I've heard it leads to all kinds of unpleasantness, such as imprisonment.
  
• Having to live in such close quarters with other people. Other male people in particular. Ugh!
  
• I couldn't put up with all the shouting. I like peace and quiet. If you want me to do something, then just ask me politely. "Please" and "thank you" cost nothing, and they're what separates us from the animals.
