But finding a new goal is about finding that towards which you already possess natural motivation. That's great, if it gets you where you want to go. The problem is that that does not always work.
Think about folks who can never complete a project because their motivation gives out half-way through. We tell them they need to be more disciplined, and finish what they started. That is kind of like telling someone that the way to swim is to jump in the water and swim. It doesn't really expose a methodology for accomlishing the goal.
So, how can one acquire motivation towards a goal for which the motivation does not come (or no longer comes) automatically?
I mean, there must be some way to cultivate the will - to make it bend to conscious intent at least a little. I have a few ideas on this, but they are minor things. What do you do, when you need to finish something but no longer feel like doing it?
