How to get motivated (finding incentives to work harder)?

I am a high school senior who gets decent grades (A- in all my AP courses) but I don't have that drive to try hard to succeed. I just do enough work to get by. I'm worried that when I get to college next year I will not get shocked into working hard and I will fall behind. I have a feeling that I am like this because I haven't ever known any hard times, but it seems exceedingly difficult to change one's lifestyle without having any real motivation. I know this probably sounds like a "woe is me" emo rant, but my question is: "what is the best way to find an incentive for oneself?"

Should I just find something I'm passionate about and go for it 100%, and hope that my lifestyle changes as a result?
 
Answer this - if you're passing with good grades, do you really need to work harder? It's human nature to do as little as possible to get the results we want. If you go to college and find that your grades slip to a level that you're not happy with, you will find that drive to work if you really do want those grades.
