Certifications and the strength to do them

Greetings everyone!

i just finished my Masters degree with distinction and certifications has been in my head way before i started my undergraduate course. i did CCNA in 2005 but never used it in real life and didn’t bother to renew. now i’m planning to do MCSA 2008 but i just couldn’t get the energy to do anything, i’m doing IT support job but when i get home, i feel drained. so i’m looking for some motivations if some of you have been in my situation and managed to make it… put the time and effort in, if u had visions or … any thing that drove you it might give me a direction or jump start to get to do things

many thanks in advance
