i have none, for anything, i literally have no clue what to do. Consequence doesnt do the trick, but neither does reward. Do you have any suggestions? What do you do?

What do you want to do or be in life? What comes to mind when you think about that? :)

Also, moving this to the Advice Forum!

well you must like it a bit if you took the trouble to learn how to play.
and you go to school, play videogames (I assume), listen to music...
and here's some motivation for you: would you like to win the lottery? sure you do! can't fix that for you, but if you work hard in school, you'll get a job with a good salary!
other than that: just do what you think is fun. if you can't think of anything, why not start trying new things? don't read a lot? pick up a book! go snowboarding! go clubbing, dance, swim, draw, whatever. if you try a lot of things, you're bound to find something you like.

Get a job, go to collage/university, maybe travel... There are a lot of things you can do to regain purpose in your life. Try living in the moment a little more, instead of thinking about the future. It may be hard at first.

I find motivation in my life by chasing girls. Then again, I'm a teenage boy...

Have you considered getting a job or third-level education, so you can resume this lifestyle in a few years' time with relative financial security?

I want degrees in ecology and/or botany, for example, so I can earn a comfortable sum of money, retire and spend the rest of my days pottering about with various hobbies and research.

You don't need an overarching ambition. But you do need to look at the facts. Dicking around requires money.

When I cant bring myself to do something when I really should I usually ask myself "Are you really going to let yourself be controlled by your e.g. laziness, paranoia or other?". That usually works.

Try putting yourself in a situation you wouldn't find yourself in normally. If you lack motivation, it means you're stuck in a hole. Get out of it and do something completely out of character.

Makes sense?
