How can I get a better work ethic?

I'm envious of the people who work day-in, day-out without complaining or even seeming to be unhappy.
I've noticed throughout my life, that I have always had trouble accepting the idea of working everyday for my whole life. Even when I'm working on my own business projects, I seem to just lack that drive and zest to really push through and keep going strong day after day. Most of the jobs working for others that I've had, I just counted the hours until I could go home for the day. I detested many of those jobs.
Recently, I took a career/personality test, and it suggested that teaching would be my strong suit, which somewhat surprised me, since I've always enjoyed working solo in the outdoors. One time I tutored Spanish in college to other students, and I found that I really enjoyed that job. That was probably my favorite job.
But.....it's the idea of having to be locked into something for a long time that scares me. I probably wouldn't last if I had to teach elementary school here in the US, for example. I just can't imagine going all day everyday. I've never had a full time job.
