Hello:
Repetition. Begin doing a little bit of what you like. Try doing those 5 to 6 days a week - even if only a bit each day. Once that repetition and routine kicks in, that can help you truly realize if you just like the thought of doing those or are truly enjoy doing those.
Good at something could be a hobby and not a career. That routine can help you understand what these are within - a hobby or something you want to do as work.
Thankful for your roads.
God Bless,
John German

Getting motivated can be a challenge, but there are many strategies that can help. Here are some tips to get you started:
1. Set clear goals: Identify what you want to achieve and set specific, measurable, and attainable goals. Break down large goals into smaller, manageable tasks to help you stay focused and motivated.
2. Find your why: Understand the reasons behind your goals. What is driving you? What is the purpose? When you connect with your "why," you will be more motivated to act.
3. Create a positive environment: Surround yourself with people who support and encourage you. Get rid of negative influences that can drain your energy and motivation.
4. Track progress: Keep a journal, log, or spreadsheet to track your progress. Seeing your accomplishments can boost your motivation and confidence.
5. Celebrate small wins: Acknowledge and celebrate small achievements. This will help you stay motivated and encouraged to continue working towards your goals.
6. Find accountability: Share your goals with a friend or mentor and ask them to hold you accountable. This can provide an added motivation to stay on track.
7. Reward yourself: Set up a reward system to motivate yourself. When you reach a milestone, treat yourself to something you enjoy.
8. Get moving: Exercise releases endorphins, which can help increase motivation and energy. Find an activity you enjoy and make it a regular part of your routine.
9. Get enough sleep: Lack of sleep can significantly impact motivation. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to help you feel refreshed and focused.
10. Stay positive: Focus on the positive aspects of your goals and the benefits you will gain by achieving them. A positive mindset can help you stay motivated and driven.
11. Seek inspiration: Surround yourself with inspiring stories, quotes, or people. This can help spark motivation and enthusiasm.
12. Take breaks: It is essential to take breaks and rest to avoid burnout. Use your breaks to recharge and come back to your tasks with renewed energy and motivation.
13. Find meaning: Connect with the purpose and meaning behind your goals. When you find meaning, you will be more motivated to act.
14. Get support: Join a community or find a friend who shares your goals. Having someone to support and motivate you can make a significant difference.
15. Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness can help you stay present and focused on your goals. Regular mindfulness practice can increase motivation and reduce procrastination.
Remember, motivation is a journey, and it is normal to have ups and downs. Be patient, kind, and compassionate with yourself as you work towards your goals.
Good luck and get going!!

Dear Alice,
Hope, desire, and other positive emotions are the foundation for progress, happiness, and the perfection of a human being. You must be aware that you possess active abilities that others are striving to attain. Polishing these gems you hold can lead to their greater brilliance. I suggest you write an extremely affectionate text for your parents, assuming that your child will read it in the years to come. To honor the valuable days of those around you, such as birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc., create monologue paintings in the dimensions of 15x15 centimeters and gift them. In this way, you will find joy in the happiness of others and gain the popularity necessary for the life of an artist. For the improvement and alteration of your surroundings, perform mental designs. For example, consider how traffic lights could be better positioned, or how you might change the trees in your neighbor’s garden, or how rearranging your friend’s room with a new layout could look.
Always remember that the abilities you possess create a responsibility for you to create beauty and help improve the spaces around you. Be happy and spread happiness.

Let's look at these skills for a minute. (Very good at writing, designing, and painting! ) What leads you to believe you are very good at these things, because to develop this level of self-worth, there must have been some motivation (or passion) in the pursuit of it. What changed? Is it just doubt that leads you to think you are not motivated? or have you lost your passion for these things? or has life in general taken a front seat to creatic endeavors? Oh I could go on and on...
Motivation is so temporary. It starts the journey but when self-imposed results or external forces do not allow you to bear fruit, it flees quickly in many. Here's a quote that I enjoy sharing: "You Can Motivate An Idiot But You Would Only Have A Motivated Idiot" Think about that?
Ask yourself, "is it your passion at this time?" If it is, then even flipping burgers for a living would not keep you from enjoying it. Passion, a love of the works which display your inner beauty and creativity, be it for prize or personal achievement, it's the passion that allows you to keep motivated in maintaining & refining your gifts.
If you have no passion, then your growth may be in another direction? These skills developed may just help you find that direction. Life is learning. Life is fun. Yes it hard but your passions make it all the worthwhile.

Dear Alice,
It's essential to pinpoint the root cause of your lack of motivation. It could be due to stress, an overwhelming schedule, or simply a lack of clear goals. These are just a few possible reasons behind your current state. Once you've identified the source, you can start to shift your mindset and spark that much-needed inspiration.
As a college professor, I've seen many people struggle with motivation. Here are some strategies that could guide you towards success:
1. Prioritize self-care: Ensure you're eating nutritious meals and getting ample sleep. This sets the stage for a positive, productive day.
2. Stay positive: A positive outlook can broaden your horizons, introducing fresh ideas on how to excel academically and professionally.
3. Set realistic goals: Establish achievable targets and work towards them gradually.
4. Celebrate your victories: When you reach a goal, take a moment to appreciate your achievement. This boosts your self-worth and propels you forward.
5. Surround yourself with positivity: Spend time with friends who are driven and upbeat. Their enthusiasm might just be contagious.
6. Engage with your boss, teacher or mentor. Let them know you're eager to improve your motivation. They may have valuable advice to share.
7. Embrace happiness: A joyful mindset naturally boosts productivity.
I hope these suggestions inspire you to ignite your motivation. I'm rooting for you and wish you nothing but success in all your future pursuits.
