What motivates you?

When I was young and well-meaning adults asked me, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I responded, "A butterfly" despite knowing that can't be. I used this well into my teens in part because I had no idea and in part to watch them squirm because they dared assume I should know such things...

Now I'm in my mid-thirties and in my final year of university. But I don't want to do the things that I entered university for (Gov foreign policy analyst). I should be writing assignments now but I can't. I used to use nice daydreams of where I could go with my degree to motivate me, but it no longer works.

It's been a struggle for over six months and apparently the fear of failing isn't even enough to keep me going.

Tell me, what should I do in this situation?
