Answer 1

I agree w/Cory completely. Motivation has to come from within. Accountability & Faith are important for all of our lives. Set a goal to spend time on your education every day. Don't finish your day until it is done. God bless you in your efforts.

Answer 2

Britt,

You are not unique....people all over struggle with motivation.  It is good that you have some goals because that will be part of your motivation.  There are a few other suggestions I have for increasing your motivation: 1) It has been a proven fact that people who work out together are more successful in achieving their goals than those who do it alone.  Find someone who you trust and respect to hold you accountable...give them permission to speak into your life...and to be dead honest.  Be willing to listen and act!  For you, I suggest an adult who has achieved some of the goals you are trying to accomplish.  2) Your faith.  it has also been a proven fact that people who attend church and believe are healthier and more succesful.  Got church?  Got Jesus?  3)  Self-paced online programs can get you through quicker than the traditional route...it means having a schedule and sticking to it.
