Is it normal to need motivation?

OK, heres my situation. I currently live in South Korea as a English teacher, have a great girlfriend, and I'm almost completely out of debt. I was a Computer Science major in college and I long to work in IT jobs. However, this is very hard in South Korea, as most jobs for foreigners are strictly teaching jobs but I want to stay here for my girlfriend, who is finishing her college life here. I find myself very tired after work so I try to relax during my time off. Yet, I feel an urge to do more with my life, so I've tried many things: looking for different jobs, learning about programming, and languages too. But, I keep losing my focus and/or my motivation. I feel like I constantly need to be motivated by my girlfriend or my friends to continue my goals, but it never seems to be enough. I feel lost because of this sometimes. Can anybody help me please? What should I do?

    I bet you look like woody allen clone. East Asia is filled with unattractive geeky white males who never got laid back home.

    You should know it's 'an' English teacher... But it is completely normal to lack or lose motivation. I recommend trying as much as you can, if there's just one thing you don't lose motivation for, is what you commit to.

    Maybe you could move when your girlfriend finishes college. Does she want to stay in Korea? I have a good friend who moved back to Korea a few days ago..
