Where Theres No Will Theres No Way Young Adults with No Motivation

My father had an old southern saying to solve just about every problem. One I remember well was, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." That was exactly how I felt about my young adult daughter. She had so much talent, so many opportunities, and she was very beautiful to boot. Suddenly, she seemed as if she was at a fork in the road and didn't want to take the left or the right, so she just sat there. What I really wanted was for her to do what I wanted. I wanted her to have balance in her life. I wanted her to get off of the computer and off of her phone. I wanted her to do anything besides nothing. She was my daughter and I love her more than anyone in the world would ever love her, but I didn't know how I could save her. She had no will and definitely no motivation.
