Thanks Parthon. I did some honest journaling about why I want to reach all those goals. I came up with many great reasons but none of them made me want to sing, dance, cry and laugh all at the same time. I connect with the reasons intellectually, but not really emotionally.
The goals I most strongly connect with emotionally, I have just no reason at all for wanting to do them! I couldn't come up with one good reason. It was more like "I just want to do it, period."

Do you know the book

Ugh!

Poor you. I have a bad image of self-discipline too. To me it always seems that people with high self-discipline are anal retentive masochists permanently busy with admiring how disciplined they are, instead of doing what they do out of love. I'm exaggerating of course, but you get the idea.
