Answer 1

I think woody allen said something like 90% of success is showing up.

You set your alarm and go.Its called discipline.
If your late you go.
If its lunch time and your not there, yoiu go.
JUST DO IT,
There is no trick.

I had that problem when i was younger, it was because I drank.
I dont drink now so i show up where im supposed to be.
Whats your addistion?
Are you afraid of success. Gods given you everything you need to be there, the rest is up to you.
Ever heard the story about the man whos house was flooded and he sat on the roof praying for God to save him, but god didnt come.
He asks god why didnt you save me, God says I sent a boat and you didnt get in , I sent a helicopter and you didnt climb the ladder.
You ahve to do something now.

Answer 2

You seem to be searching for something and placing a great job in its place. If going to work is the problem then maybe you should start a home based business where you can stay at home and never be late. If this problem has always been, then try a job that comes to your home like babysitting or being a nanny/manny. The whole thing about laziness as bring a sin is ridiculous because its not. You need to be proactive in your search and since you do believe in God here's something to try. Pray directly to him and BE SPECIFIC!!! Don't just say please help me....please help you what???? When??? Why??? In my Gnostic Christianity belief, you picked this life for yourself to learn something. You DO have a plan for yourself you just may have lost your way. Ask God to put you back onto track, pray for a release NOW for your problem and make yourself go. If you live on your own you can only go so long without an income before you'll have no water, no lights, no car, no home. Stop getting in your own way so much.

Answer 3

this is such an odd question, it makes me wonder if its serious.

well u have to ask your self what u want in life?
what u want for your future?
and what your dreams are?
then u have to work your way to your dreams, one day at a time.
if you feel that your jobs are not getting you anywhere then u need to find things that interest you.
i hope you don't have kids.
i feel i'm too lazy as well but i'm still young.
i think this is deeper than just holding a job.
Do you feel unfulfilled?
well u should keep away from things that can be distracting and make people lazy like a t.v. and computer.

If u died tomorrow what would people remember you as/by?

but most importantly you have to just get out there and work.
find some thing that motivates you and don't just work, do other activities that you enjoy?

this problem can have many causes so i'm not sure what else to say. good luck with everthing.
feel free to message me for further advice.
now get off the computer and get to work.

Answer 4

Do you often have mood swings...sad, then happy, feeling on top of the world, then like you shouldn't even be on it? Do you spend money and then later wonder what you bought or why you bought the items you did? Do you make great plans then do go through with them? Do you experience a lot of guilt and anger towards yourself? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you need to see a mental health practioner very soon. There should be a mental health clinic in your area...the pay is based on your income and they can help you get medicines if you need them. I say this because you may have bipolar disorder and if left untreated can lead to death either intentionally or accidentally. It can also lead to loss of friends, family, support, and even yourself...leaving you a shallow shell of the person you once were. So don't wait any longer...get help now. Getting help does not mean you are crazy, looney, mental, or any other negative thing that can be associated with it. Getting help means you are smart and realize that you have a problem. Get some help and learn to live again.

Answer 5

Having several family members who have or have had this problem I know what you are going through. My family members who have experienced this particular problem found that it was a symptom of depression and in one case bipolar disorder. With the right medication this problem was eased and they have all held down jobs long term and are much happier on the whole now that they know what is wrong and what to do about it. I would suggest that you see a doctor and explain what is going on and she/he could help you decide what the best plan of action is.

Answer 6

Well, maybe you don't really like the career you chose. You can look into other types of work that you might find more interesting. It's hard going everyday to a job you don't like, but for most of us, staying home is not an option. You need to find something you will feel good about doing, how about a charitable or non-profit organization?

Answer 7

Well you just need to get off your *** and go to work. No offence.

Get some pills like adderal, its a perscripiton drug that makes you "more motivated" Its primarily used for people wit ADD and It really works. I took it once to help me concentrate on my school work. It works but it causes you to have an out of body experience where no matter how hard you try you can't get hyper. Its really wierd.

You need to go through a phychiatrist.

Answer 8

Well first of all, i think it is AWESOME that you are a Christian! :) Congrats! Well i guess i can't really help you on this cause i am only 14, but my advice is to keep praying and God will answer it in His own time! So i wish you the best and GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9

Sounds like you may be suffereing from depression. The best thing to do is to talk to a doctor. If your religion helps you out that is a good thing, but don't use it as a crutch or an excuse for your failings. Talk to your pastor or minister to see what help they can provide.

Answer 10

See a psychologist. I'm pretty sure god won't get you out of bed and take you to work, but a psychologist can track down the issue barried in your psyche and help you to move forward.
