Will someone motivate me to go back to college please?


Question:
I attended college 6 years ago and had to quit to work and pay my bills,well over the years I've been stuck at a dead end job with no chance of climbing the latter. I want that fire back that I once had to go to college in the first place. All I do is work a full time job and come home and watch other people on tv pursue their dream, I am not jealous just disappointed in myself because I know I'm capable of better. But it seems as if I've fallen into the same boat that many people fall into,only to look back 30 years from now and say " I SHOULD OF DONE THIS OR I SHOULD OF DONE THAT" I am 29 years young with no kids and no motivation. And beleive me I feel stupid asking someone to motivate me to do better because it's something I should want to do on my own but the truth is the will power isn't there anymore.So reader if you are struggling to find you way hang in there or reader if you have the right words please help us who have along the way lost or way.

Answer:
Hey you can do it! You have the will, but you just need an extra push. Life only comes around once, and do you really want to be stuck at a job that you hate? Who cares if you struggle for a while? At the end of the day, getting your life back is so much more important. You should want to seize every opportunity that passes by because you might just be the woman who never finished college and regretted it for the rest of your life. You need to find out what is really stopping you!! You can't be scared to succeed. I am begging you to go to college because you deserve it! You obviously want to, and it doesn't take up that much time. You really have to figure this out on your own, but I am happy to push you along! Leave the past in the past and do what you know what is best for you! You are still young and can accomplish so much!!

Carpe Diem!
Stop hanging around here, looser! Go back to school! What a looser.
I've heard a lot of people say they went back after working physical-labor intensive, really crappy jobs. They realized the way out of a lifetime of that was a degree, and some education.

Other than that, I don't really know, I'm afraid.
GO BACK TO COLLEGE!

You need to learn the difference between "latter" and "ladder" also "should of" and "should have"
Do it now. Go back, sounds like you have the best reason in the world, a crappy job. If money is the issue, there are so many different options for financial aid. Go to the school of your choice and sit down with a financial aid adviser. Anyone can do this. My mom graduated from college at the age of 45. I'm 30 and I am graduating in May. You can do it. The thing to ask yourself is "what have I done in the last 4 years?" All it takes is minimal effort to go back and complete your studies.
You need to motivate YOURSELF sweetie!
I'm a U.S. Marine and I'm active 24/7. My job require me to be ready all time and at any time. I've been deployed to many places. Right now, I'm taking my accounting degree online because I have no time to go to the classroom. You can take online classes at your own pace. National University has different class scheduled. They one one program that you can take 1 class every month until you finish your degree. Also University of phoenix has some online and offline classes too. Just visit National University at http://www.nu.edu or University of Phoenix at http://www.phoenix.edu/ for more info.
I went back after being out of school for seven years. At the time I had two children ages 6 and 2. I am proud to say That I earned my Bachelors degree while holding down two jobs and being a single parent. It was hard, I barely slept and all my extra time was spent caring for my children. Would I do it again? Yes, because it changed my life. I am a stronger person. The sacrifice is definitely worth it. If you want something bad enough, you will do it. I recommend you read Anthony Robbins book, Awaken The Giant Within. It will help you get motivated. Good luck!

Human motivation is a response that our body has to some
form of either internal or external stimulation.

In simple terms, it means that our body is responding to
stimulation. An example is that we are motivated to eat
something because we are hungry. We are directing a
behavior to a particular goal. Humans need to be motivated
to do just about anything in life. That is why it is so
Important to set goals.

Sure, we may not need to set a goal to eat, sleep or drink.
Those are internal stimulations. But sometimes in life we
find that we need to motivate ourselves to do other
important functions in life.

Some of these include: losing weight, exercising, quitting
smoking, cleaning the house, doing homework or finding a
job. Those are just to mention a few.

The bottom line is, we need to set goals to do some of
these things. Without goals, we really can't begin to get
motivated. As humans, we need to have the reason to do
something. That is how our brain works.

There are three basic types of personalities
that determine human motivation.

1. The need for achievement is the drive to excel at things
and strive to succeed. This type is in it for the
competition only.

2. The need for power is the desire to make people behave a
certain way with the power of human motivation. This type
of person is in it for the power and could care less about
the competition.

3. The need for affiliation is the strong needs for close
interpersonal relationships with others. This type of
person is in it for friends. They will cooperate just to
have the social aspect.

These are all types of personalities that are part of human
motivation. It is what drives us to think the way we think
and desire the things that we desire.

Depending on which human motivation type you are will
determine what motivates you. There can also be a
combination of two or three to make up someone's
personality.

Everyone is different in that different things motivate
each and every one of us. In order to get motivated, one
needs to first set goals out in front of them to meet. They
need to be goals that are within reach.

Then after the goals have been set down, it is time to get
a plan on what it will take to meet your goals. Write it
down and prioritize the things that need to be done in
order to achieve this motivation.

The final stage to human motivation is to make a commitment
to keep focused on the goals. Remember, motivation is what
drives us all. We need to have it to achieve anything.


Although some lucky people seem to be born highly
motivated, if you are of at least average intelligence you
can learn how to be motivated. No matter how unmotivated
you have been up to now you can still become a winner.

A winner is simply someone who
utilizes their resources and
brain power to their best
advantage while maintaining
a positive motivation and
attitude. If you have ever
wished to be a winner, look
for the motivation and attitude
to help you succeed...
