> What advice does anyone have for someone who wants to go up levels, in anything, but lacks the self-motivation to actually get started? I'd first think about why I'd want "to go up in anything". Looks to me (I may be wrong of course), that you don't know what you really want/would like to do, so you're heading for the easy route(1), which is, to be successful in something for the sake of being successful. If this is the case, if you'd find something you really wanted, plenty of motivation would come by itself (of course, that wouldn't be everything, but it would be a good starting point). (1)=from an awareness perspective.
