You have to continue putting in the effort, even when it feels like its getting you nowhere.
You arent going to get married after a first date.
You arent going to get promoted after one productive day.
Andre Furtado
When you set a goal for yourself, you have to practice patience.
You have to continue putting in the effort, even when it feels like its getting you nowhere.
You have to come up with new ways to stay motivated, to stay dedicated, every single day.
You cant let yourself slack.
You cant let your negativity and self-doubt get the best of you.
You have to keep chugging along, no matter how fruitless it feels.
And you have to remind yourself the results dont matter as much as the journey.
If youre focused on your main, life-changing goal, then youre going to feel overwhelmed.
Youre going to wonder whether youre taking too long to make progress.
Youre going to psych yourself out.
Thats why you have to focus on one thing at a time.
Dont wait until your main goal is complete to pat yourself on the back.
When you spend an hour on the treadmill, you should be proud of yourself.
When you write 1,000 words of your novel, you should be proud of yourself.
When you text your crush first, you should be proud of yourself.
Dont underestimate the small steps youve been taking every single day.
Give yourself credit for them.
Get excited about them.
Right now, you might have doubts about whether youre ever going to achieve your goals.
You might wonder whether everything youve been doing even matters.
You might have trouble sticking to a productive routine because you arent sure whether youve been wasting your time.
Eventually, you are going to realize why you spent so much time working toward your goals.
Eventually, you are going to feel like your hard work has paid off.
Until then, you’re gonna wanna stay positive, stay hopeful, stay dedicated.
