Do you ever lower your standards to fit the life you're currently living? That's what I do. If something I want is a little out of reach and I think I won't get it, or am too lazy to try, I'll lower my expectations so that I don't have to bother.
It's what I'm doing at the moment with A level history course work. So I'm predicted a B right? But if I REALLY tried I could probably get an A. Last year I got a C, and I'm currently working at a D. I know that if I put some effort in this weekend I could get my course work (which is half of my final grade) up at least 1 grade if not 2. But I really can't be bothered. This is where I start justifying the grade I would get if I didnt try, and convincing myself that it's not really worth it anyway. 'If you get a C in the exam you'll still come out with a C overall. Even if you got a D in the exam you'd probably still get a C. Don't bother too much. You'd never manage a B overall anyway'.
It's not the best way to live your life. It's not the most accomplishing way to live your life. But it sure as hell is the easiest.
