Everyone has the means to help themselves. What many lack is motivation.

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeIt does, but that's only a result, and often a very late one. The real problem is trying and failing, trying and recoiling, wanting to be "succesful" (by society's standards) and getting rebuffed again and again, by yourself and others. Do that often enough and yes, you lose the motivation you once had - bur that is effect, not cause.
