@jlodarl: My suggestion to you mam is to write a personal mission statement. Do you have one? Your personal mission statement summarizes your deepest values and principles, what's really important to you, who you really want to become, and what you really want to do and accomplish.
I've learned a lot from "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" ni Stephen Covey. Like you, it's a challenge for me too, to write my own mission statement and to set goals and act on them; to be constantly motivated and passionate about my dreams and plans, etc. It's a day to day challenge, but I like it hehe... So I suggest you pick the book up, if you haven't already read it.
Anyway, I really believe having our own mission statement is very important. We won't have any sense of direction and purpose if we don't have one. Organizations, for example private companies, have mission statements, without one they won't have any direction, they will fail in the venture.
After writing our own mission statement we must plan and set goals based on it. It helps a lot also if our goals are specific and time-bound. We must clearly picture them out and set deadlines, and each and every day we must do something to achieve that particular goal. "We don't have to do a thousand things. We just have to do something," said Anthony Robbins. So we must do something, even just one thing, on a daily basis.
If dali ra ta mapul-an sa ato goals, we must evaluate them and try to see if they are still aligned to our mission statement. Stephen Covey said something like if we are not able to do something about our goals consistently, if we are bored or if we lose our drive to act on our goals, that is probably because we haven't really taken our mission statement to heart. The only solution is to have discipline. That means we have to become "disciples" of our values and principles. We must have a burning "yes" to our dreams, goals, values and principles (our mission statement) for us to be able to say "no" smilingly to the things that are not important in our lives.
Just my two cents.

Thank you Mr. josephdc!!! Yep heard that book... im gonna get one soon...
I think it will be a challenge for me too, to have my own mission statement.. thats why I keep asking about myself what I really want... and having hard time to figure it out,really...
I set goals and make it happen like landing a dream job.. been to lots of great job that anyone will envy of, but later I don't want it anymore, im not happy.. I try lots of activities like sports, I even enrolled with another course then stop, and more activities.
I think you're right writing and reading it everyday and do something about it might help me... Maybe taking down notes will make me realize or evaluate what I really want in life...
I have one more question,this might be the answer for everything but im not really sure if this is really what I want or I justt don't want to admit it myself. I just want you to help me please evaluate or give me some opinions or whatever it is called... I been working for years, started like 14 years old and still working until now.. My lifestyle is way far than before.. I can get whatever I want but im not that really materialistic.. (in short I don't have problem with money). I was thinking that maybe Im ready to get married? coz when I was in college my dream is just to be a housewife and a mother with a career.. until now I keep thinking about it more and more..... like everyday.. I think but not sure that's what I really want.I envy to women with babies, even I just saw a baby clothes, just stuff like that. I think I'll be happy with that and contented.. what do you think?
Thanks again Sir!
