How to overcome the laziness and discouragement?

* Know Your Purpose. What do you live for? Why are you on the earth? God has called every believer to glorify him, to spread the good news of Christ, to advance His kingdom. Have you been doing that lately? What are your gifts and talents? how can you use your gifts in your church, and or community. Study what the Bible says about your purpose, and spend time with God in prayer. Take note of the scriptures that speaks to you about your purpose. The Holy Spirit will energize you with God's word. * Identify Your Responsibilities * What are your responsibilities towards God, family, church, community? Are you keeping your responsibilities. Discipline yourself to accomplish your responsibilities. Cut out unnecessary activities, such as excessive TV watching. Focus on doing the things that need to get done. Fulfill your responsibilities according to priority - God, family, etc. * Resist the hopeless attitude that says your actions are fruitless. Focus on God's declaration of His purpose for your life - think on it, speak about it. For example: "I resist discouragement in Jesus name, and I stand in God's power" * Set long term and short term plans based upon your purpose and responsibilities. Example: What steps do you need to take today to reach your spiritual goals? Perhaps set a daily time to pray. Set specific goals with deadlines for things you must accomplish. * Get active. Take immediate steps to meet your goals. Perhaps you need to make a call, or send a letter. * Hook up with purpose minded people. Get involved in your local church. Stick close to those who are active in the ministry. Build relationships with responsible people. Quit wasting your time with people who waste their time and yours doing nothing. * Ask a responsible friend or mentor to hold you accountable to your responsibilities and goals. Ask them to follow up on you, as to where you are in reaching your goals.

Your problem is a fairly common one and affect 50 per cent of the kids going to school. You simply have no interest in studying. I don't have any easy solution for you... only some advice. 40 years ago... you still could get away with doing bad at school and get a job at 18 despite of that. But in today highly competitive world (because we have twice as many people in the world since 40 years ago)... if you don't get some decent grades at school... your chances of getting a job will be nil. If you don't study now when you have a chance... you will be paying for it for the rest of your life. Do you want to be poor all your life? Focus on this to give yourself some motivation. Try to take an interest in studying. Make an effort for the next couple of months to try to improve your grades. When you see the results... it will give you the motivation to study harder. Life is hard for everybody. And while school may seem boring to you... it is actually a lot easier than going out to earn a living everyday... doing a job than you hate because you did not get good grades at school to do the job you would love to do.

I never felt that way even though I was shy and never really challenged at school till I was a junior or so in college, so it is hard to give you advice. Have you talked with someone about it, like parents or a school councilor or a friend. I hate to use the word depression, but it does sound a little like that may be your problem. If so you may need help to solve it. If it is because you aren't doing well in your studies or don't find them interesting, then you need to either try to learn better study habits and classroom habits or if you are in college(which I am guessing), maybe consider different subjects that interest you more when you can.

i guess you always have the goals to achieve and be determined to hit it. on this way you can have the spirit to overcome laziness... you also have to set your mind. dont let your mind control you... it must be you that should control your mind. act like a winner. dont let your character be like some one who lose without even trying to fight.. be a leader to your self show the greatness with in you... iam very sure that you know your abilities and capability.. and you should show it to the world! be a great person. learn to sacrifice then you'll be successful! go GIRL! u can make it

i always have the same feeling, but sometimes i get motivated everytime i think of my mom confiscating my cellphone if i fail a subject, i imagine her giving me such punishments that will make me regret failing.
