			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been feeling a bit unmotivated, lately, and I haven&#8217;t been able to figure out why. I spent a lot of time pondering it today and I finally figured it out: I have no short term goals.</p>
<p>Leading up to the middle of July, my entire goal was to move up at work and get to the position I&#8217;m in right now. I spent a lot of time and energy doing whatever I could to earn what I wanted and it really kept me driving forward. Now that I&#8217;ve achieved that goal, I&#8217;m finding it hard to stay driven because I lack anything to work towards. The same goes for my personal life. Now that my life is going so well, I have nothing to work towards. Without goals, I&#8217;ve fallen back and have resorted to coasting through many aspects of my life. I do my work and try to succeed, but the drive isn&#8217;t there and doesn&#8217;t re-appear at home. </p>
<p>I really need to figure out what I want next. I need that carrot dangling in front of me, constantly forcing me to move forward as I try to get it. You have any carrots and/or goals you want to throw my way? This unmotivated horse could use some right about now. </p>
