What make you wake up everyday and start working?

I just wake up this morning and feel like I dont want to work anymore.
I set my goal like everyone on this forum, I start taking action like everyone on this forum, I start seeing some results like everyone on this forum.
But after a time I feel like I dont want to keep doing this anymore, I dont have any motivation, I keep asking my myself why I have to do this, I feel like the goals I set before dont have any meaning for me. I just want to lay down on my bed and watching TV, why I have to work?

I feel like if I have all the thing I want on this world I still not happy.

Is there anyone have a situation like me? What make you work so hard everyday? Why you have to work like this? Do you really love your job?

Get a lady.

Though you cant live with them and you cant live without them.

Cheers

Urge to go to the bathroom. That's primary most of the times, and all other needs come after that... start working? That's preferably the last item on the list... lol

I'm currently in a similar situation as you, except I feel apathy because I've had so many people screw me over in the past few months (paying late, not paying, or not taking me seriously due to how old I look) that they've managed to hurt my business and significantly reduce my revenue. Many people have even taken advantage of my kindness and my original business model, which was based on trust, to the point where I don't want to deal with anyone any more. All of this affected me enough that I had even considered getting a *gulp* "real job" just to temporarily support myself (what's left of my business' income is passive for the most part, so I'm actually okay).

However, I know that I'll probably find a way to recover what I lost soon since IM is the only profession that I want to work in. That, and it has the best benefits.

Argh... not this shit again.

When I finally got up to start it was because I lost so much from just sitting there and laying down and playing the game everyday. I used it as an excuse to get out of the real world and my own limited reality. I left my job to pursue business and failed not because I didn't try, but because I came to have that same feeling you did. Now here I am, a young student at the age of 21, no dad trying to make it. I just graduated and that was barely.. I felt like I didn't want to graduate but I did it anyway. 1 of my former mentors sent me a video that helped me out which I will post when I find it. I also got support from my church family when I couldn't bare to take it anymore and let everything out in 1 night. Dude up gotta surround yourself with motivational people. Especially if motivation is finite. When u get down on yourself you have to ask yourself what can I do to keep going. This is why create goals, so we can achieve them and then look back on the past and say, what have I already done and draw motivation from that. You have to be willing even when your down. I'm about to find those vids for you bro.

thank you, I really appriciated

In my case,it is;What make you wake up everynight and day and start working.
Yes,it is the dream of a middle class boy who want all the success what he dreaming and for that,he has to work and work until he gets success.

To be honest, if you want to be extremely successful, you need to enjoy your work. I can't wait to wake up in the morning and get to work. Every day presents a new challenge and a new opportunity for learning and exploration. In my opinion, find whatever gives you that feeling, and then do that. I am in love with the fact that I can wake up hours later than my friends, eat a bowl of cereal and stay home all day while I work. While this is going on, my friends slave away and I make more money then them. This lifestyle makes me happy and because of it, I love working. It does get repetitive but I power through it. Just because this business may allow certain freedoms, doesn't mean you'll actually enjoy those freedoms. If you're a very sociable person, you may actually want to be in an office where you can talk to people... It's all about finding who you are and where you belong in the world.

Maybe see a doctor or a therapist? Could be depression. Just pick a goal, like a place you want to go or a thing you want to buy or a person you want to impress. Chase it.

Same here man, I know that feel :/

You are really a kind person !!

You can try this method, and it's really powerful and it works!

The Method: (You should do it to get sleep at the time you choose...)

When I was in college, during one particular year, the first practical started at 6:30 in the morning! I lived quite a distance from the college and going there would involve catching a local train, and then a city bus. It also meant that I should be getting up at or before 5am! Imagine sleeping at 1 am and getting at 5 am and then doing all the chores and getting into that practical room before 6:15am!! Ok... I had been reading metaphysics books too those years. I remembered one story where the person was asked to see an imaginary clock on an imaginary wall, and command his subconscious to set a time on that clock, and ask itself to do a certain task. That task was getting up in the morning... it applied perfectly to my situation. So I too visualized a clock on the wall of my home and saw that when time time was 5am I was getting up as it struck 5 in that clock... within a few days, I began getting up exactly at 5 am! So I thought it was just a coincidence... I then set the time in that imaginary clock to 4:50am... and I began getting up at that exact time! (Does this remind you guys of our friend pewep and his experiments? )....

So the point is: You too try this and see if this helps you set a time to get asleep by a particular time. Remember, that if this works, you can do lot of wonderful things in your life with this method!

Please let me know if this helped...

i believe that you must do something that you love and makes you happy, maybe you don't love your job and you need to find something else

Been there, sistah. Don't ever trust anyone with money, especially broke people. On the bright side, I find getting a short contract onsite will get you talking to people, meeting people, and usually it's a good way to lift your spirits. When you freelance all day, you're always fighting someone or trying to negotiate. With real jobs, you get to do a job but make friends who are like-minded and aren't just trying to dick you out of money.

For the OP: try to give yourself 1 day off a week. I try to give myself sundays, although this sunday I can't. Give yourself at least one day to do nothing in regards to work. It helps with burnout.

That mean, you dint work hard yet.
Work hard till you have no enough time to watch tv, or play game or sleep.
Once the job is done, you will feel "achievement" or success feeling.

Then you can reward yourself with travel, entertainment etc.

Too much free time will lead you into boring, depression and no motivation.

Sometime, working is more fun than doing nothing. Believe me, I in that same boat before.

Oh yeah, no kidding about that. Most of the broke people I know are in that position because they have no concept of money management (the second they get it, they spend it on something they don't need), so I definitely don't trust them with money.
