No Motivation

Well, I used to say I'd never get it, but senioritis has struck like a flu bug with no shot. I completely lack motivation to do anything in school anymore. I have my scholarships, I've been accepted into honors college at ASU, and I've pretty much got all of next year planned out. So I keep asking myself, "what's the point?" and I get the same answer from myself. "Do it so you can say you did, finish out strong," and all of that. But to be honest, I'm having no luck at motivating myself with any of these handy dandy inspirational speeches that I cook up for myself in my head.

My friends have tried to help me too, and I can say I've probably lost a few really great friends because of their frustration with my complete lack of motivation to get much of anything done in school. It's not that I don't do any work. I finish the big assignments, and turn in the projects, but I hate having to rely on other people to help me get through. That's not me. I know I have the capacity to force myself to sit down and do things, but for some reason I can't find the motivation to do it.

The psychologists say that the first step to remedying a problem is recognition. Well, here it is. I'm recognizing that this is definitely a MAJOR problem, and I have to do something about it. But the question is, what? That I haven't tried already.

Maybe I just need to try harder.

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.

-John 16:33
