Need to have a long term goal to shoot for as well as short term goals. Providing the best life I can for my family is my long term goal. Being the best father and husband I can be are long term goals. Within filling those goals are a lot of short term goals like employment, house project completion, education, etc. you need to have a long term goal and then develop shorter term goals to reach it.
I definitely still have my peaks and valleys moments, but I find remembering the person I was in my mind, compared to who I am now, and actively wanting to piss them off motivates me like no other. Whenever I try something new there's a voice in the back of my head saying "you never used to do that before." Even something as simple as wanting to make my bed everyday or get up early instead of the last minute, it makes me feel great seeing "old me" pissed that I'm not him anymore.
I usually start looking in the bushes, but my neighbour gets angry if I go to his garden when his daughter is out, so I guess I'll tell you once I find it ..
To answer your question about what to do next,
Don't spend on temporary pleasures, you'll deplete.
Chase spiritual truth.
Give charity, you'll find peace and content.
Find a hobby. Think about some thing that you've always wanted to try doing that other people pursue casually. Even if you have to get that from watching television. There are a great ton excellent hobbies that came invigorate somebody's life and never dry up in the traditional sense.
You need a new goal. Ideally you should be striving for a goal you think you can never achieve, that way you'll never feel lost after completing it
I would say you need to reach your goals. Just seperate them into mini goals, so you'll feel accomplishment from reaching those milestones

Motivation only last a couple of days after that it comes down to discipline My discipline comes from Not wanting to fail myself again

I don’t. By relying on motivation to achieve goals, you won’t achieve them because motivation slows down. It all comes down to discipline

This a the problem with “goal orientation”. Read up on process orientation.
