In my opinion,
Complete lack of motivation is the result of mental congestion.
Start emptying your mind! Delete all good and bad memories! Don't worry about the past and don't be afraid of the future.
What you have right now is not what you really want! That's why you are not happy!
Just empty your mind and you'll find what you really want!
And we always have motivation for the things we TRULY want!
- chrissnell 10y agoThis may sound like hogwash to some but it has a lot of truth in it. Live for the moment, especially in your youth. Many years ago (1999), I was working in L.A. for a fast-growing media startup. My job was okay but my social life was just miserable. It's tough to be a guy from a small town in Texas and be single in a place like Los Angeles. I lived in a shitty apartment in Pasadena and knew no one. I listed to Adam Carolla's Loveline radio show obsessively at night for comfort and that motivated me to go to a shrink. The guy listened to my story and then looked at me and said, "If you're miserable, why are you still here? Move to where you want to be." Two days later, I gave my employer notice and soon after, I was packing my things and moving back to Texas. My point is, like the poster above says, forget about yesterday's negativity and the future's worry and start living in the present. Do what you need to make yourself motivated and happy again.
