Lacking Motivation

[JiffyPop100]

"Thanks for some of the suggestions.

Just to clarify, the problem is not that I'm lacking a balanced life. The problem is just that I am feeling no satisfaction and reward from playing poker, which takes up a significant portion of my everyday life. I don't feel any REAL physical and mental challenges in my life, classes don't stimulate me as much as they should, nor does poker. My university offers a lot, but I don't find most people here to be truly passionately involved in something, and if they are, then I haven't found the right thing for me.

I have been withdrawing chunks of money to buy a car, a house, and invest in the market, and these concrete things will both help me secure my future and appreciate what poker has done for me, for a change. Also, charity and/or going to do some volunteer work sounds interesting.

I don't want to come across sounding like a spoiled prick but I guess people will always interpret what you say the wrong way. FWIW I don't take money granted and I worked 9-5 long enough to realize how hard 'real work' can be. "

Give me a friggin break. If I remember correctly, youre 20 years old and come from a rich family.

Youre not old enough to have "worked 9-5 long enough to realize how hard real work can be". What did you do, work at McDonalds for a summer?

Your a spoiled little rich prick who has no respect for money. I dont feel the least little bit sorry for you.

Go do some roofing work for a summer and see what real work is.
Work in a toll booth and see how bored you are.
Join the Army and see what its like to be ordered around all day and then get shot at for your troubles.

Or shut the hell up and use your god given ablity to make insane amounts of money while you sit in front of a computer in your underwear.

I hate to break it to you, but 99% of the world hate their jobs. They are bored and unfulfilled at their accounting job. They feel like Dilbert in their little work cubicle just praying the clock strikes 5PM so they can start all over again tomorrow.

Ive heard this story way too many times. Whhaaa whhaa, I make $10000s of dollars playing poker and Im bored, whhhaaa whhhaaaa.

Cry me a river, dude.
