Note: It is usual in English to have a space after a punctuation mark (eg a full stop or comma).
Second note: You could try watching films or surfing the internet in English. That way, you get to practise without noticing.

I think motivation depends on how you see things in life, how important are those things for you to attain and how you have grown. It has to do with beliefs, the way you were educated. An in my opinion the way you deal with failure has to do with this as well; for example when I like to do something I know the start can be difficult, because everything is a process and takes time. Always when I start something I finish it no matter what. That’s part of my beliefs I can’t quit but I know there are others that get bored really easily and drop the task in time. They get distracted and their brain functions different in terms of energy some of them are hyperactive and his/her brain must to do lots of activities sometimes at the same time and is hard to focus on one thing only for a long period of time. If this is not well oriented since childhood might be a problem in adulthood. My nephew has this problem he suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder I’m not sure if this has to do with motivation but I think it might be important. It’s very complicated to know why some persons have seriously difficulties with this. Finally I consider it’s caused for a sum of situations and events from the past.

Hello! You are right that nowadays it's more difficult to force oneself to study. I do not stop learning English because I really need this language. Why do I need the English laguage:
1)I've got relatives in Australia and we talk on skype sometimes. I want them to understand me without any problems.
2) This language is very common in our world. I think everybody must understand a little bit of English.
3) I like to make new friends all around the world and also I like traveling, so it's necessary to understand some English nowadays.
I'm learning French and a little bit of Spanish. I like these languages that is why I'm learning them. Thought I can say that I learn English more harder/deeper than French or Spanish.

Hi Ruthi. In my case, I also suffer from procrastination really badly but I try using it for good. I watch movies in the language which I study, read news, books or enroll for online education courses in the target language. It helps me keep myself motivated.
