I'd like to think that is true for me, but I seem to have had more motivation to follow through in my younger days ... particularly in my 20's. Perhaps it has to do with energy levels and my environment at that time. My present environment makes it very easy to become complacent and just drift. I have no problems with follow through at work, paying bills, etc. ... but the rest of my life could use an energy boost. Then again, maybe I'm just trying to fit in too much.
i can relate to this a lot. i was extremely motivated and driven in my 20's to achieve my many goals, and did. then i my 30's i reveled in those achievements and exploited them. then i started getting burned out and now i feel too like i am almost complacent and drifting.......almost becoming so relativistic that i can feel like nothing has meaning at times. maybe motivation is very age related? or maybe not.
