But finding a new goal is about finding that towards which you already possess natural motivation.
Agreed. But motivation grows stronger with increased appreciation of the goal (if it's a goal worth reaching that is..).

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.

...

What do you do, when you need to finish something but no longer feel like doing it?
A little pressure won't always do the trick, but it won't hurt either. Pressure boosts motivation because we all need to be accepted by our peers. Right?

Come, let's hear your ideas!

Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph.2:8).
