Think about what you wrote; can you see the irony of it?
Noticing the areas you have drive and the areas you don't ...clue you in to yourself.
Maybe you don't have drive when it comes to stuff you perceive as work. Maybe you have great drive when you feel like playing soccer w/ your friends.
To just say you lack drive is too vague of a statement. Get clearer. Do some self reflection. You might be amazed at some of the info you can gleen from self reflection.
I'm writing this because it's useless to treat a sympton (no drive) and not the dis--ease (say fear of failure as an example)
Ask yourself: why don't i have any drive w/ regard to my studies.
NEXT put on a paraliminal or some music that will enable you to get into a deep alpha brain wave. Notice what thoughts come up. Parents? Grades? How others view me? Just notice what thoughts come up w/o EDITING them or JUDGING them.
When you come out, bounce the info from deep alpha off the question: Why don't i have any drive w/ regard to my studies?
For instance, maybe you suddenly find yourself thinking about your mother or father. Nothing important, but thoughts of them surface. Then when you are looking at your question, ask yourself if your parents could have any influence in your lack of drive for your studies. Then maybe you think about how they unknowingly are putting pressure on you to do exceptionally well. Bingo! A light goes off. You have no drive in your studies b/c you perceive your parents to be pushing you beyond your limits.
all of this is just an example of self reflection and how it works
drive can't be taught, but self reflection techniques can...and the info from self reflection can then be used to solve problems. When problems get understood, your energy is then free to help you become successful.
I have no clue how to solve that though. I've had my problem for awhile and i always end up convincing myself that those above things are better... Maybe PhotoReading self-help books could help you?
It sounds to me like you prefer to procastinate rather than lacking drive. If you would like to PR some books on the subject, Check out Susan Jeffers amongst her books, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is eye opening to reasons why we procastinate. Albert Ellis had writtin some books that are helpful in that area. As has Dr William J Knaus Author of Do It Now: How to Stop Procastinating. He also wrote Change your lif.

I have personally discovered that procastination has it purpose too... sometimes your inner mind knows something that your conscious mind doesn't. So it not necessarily a bad thing to procastinate, rather to understand why you are choosing to procastinate.

What a terrific book...can't say enuff +++++ for it
It may appear to be long, but he has it completely set up in a brain friendly manner and he has the 20% that carries 80% of the meaning clearly indicated.
