My breakthrough came when I went through a tramatic time in my life and got sick and tired of going no place in life. The answer comes when you get to this point, and find that the things you are doing in your life are what is keeping you in this mindset and rut. You have to get angry with yourself after much self examination, and simply change what you are doing, old habits have to go do it different and new, it will stay the same unless you take a confident brave step in a new direction and don't look back. It will not be easy to keep from backsliding, but in those bad times just remind yourself you can do this and make your life more interesting with things you never dreamed of doing before, your life will then change and become more fullfilling, never look back at the old you again.

I've proven myself right thus far, I'm a struggling college student who has yet to do well in school for about 3 years now. I don't feel adequate I guess, I try to be positive but its as if something bad is always happen. I doubt that there is an ultimate help answer..but I'm just wondering why don't I feel driven or motivated and I can't seem to try anymore? I would really appreciat your advice.
