All my life everything has come relatively easy for me, not because I've had everything handed to me, but because I've found that I'm good at so many things. My problem however, is that I don't feel that I ever reach my full potential in anything, since my talents make me lazy to strive for more than just good. What can I do to motivate myself to be excellent instead of just good?

The problem is that you are spreading yourself thin. Find something that is your greatest strength and concentrate on that. Narrow your focus to 3 particular goals, then form some objectives on how you plan on achieving those goals. Say for instance you want to live independently when you retire as a goal. For your objectives to achieve that goal, you can put away 10% of your take home income every month, dont splurge on expensive items that you don't need, and cut back on some living expenses such as turning off lights in rooms that aren't occupied or turning off the water when you brush your teeth (this is small, but when added up, you can save yourself alot of $$$$). If you are good at basketball and football, condition your body and see what sport you excel in the most then concentrate on that by practicing. Focus is what separates the winners from the losers. If you truly want to be successful you have all the resources in your mind and at your fingertips to be so. Good Luck.

Get rid of cable. That is what I had to do. Also make sure you put excercise in your life. It is a must for those energy bursts. Then put down in outline form what you would like to accomplish. A Set of goals both realistic and unrealistic. Make sure you have at least a month ahead of stuff that interests you. You will soon be on your way to being superman/woman

Set your goals higher in areas with a higher degree in reaching it. It must be nice that everything comes so easy when people like me struggle with the simple things lol

read the purpose driven life.
your maximum poetetal may not be what you think.
even if your not religious, take the facts of what the book says, and put it in your life.
think hard on it, it will make alot of sense.
you wont even know you were in the dark.
