I'm tired of myself || no motivation

Motivation

Hi,

Well to start off, I don't expect any views on this write up, but I'm writing this only to pour my heart out. By my username it's obvious that I'm here to read BTS fanfictions.

The real human behind this user is me and,

I've been very lazy and unmotivated to do anything in life.

I am that average student with huge goals, but honestly no motivation to do studies. I don't get stellar A's. I don't have an amazing personality. I'm mediocre but I always try to be positive about little things in life. I'm still studying in school and I'm 21 years old.

One day I was browsing the internet for tips to 'stay motivated' and I came across this beautiful post, and I would like to give an extract of the original post.

'How To Stay Focused When You Get Bored Working Toward Your Goals'

By James Clear.

People get depressed when they lose focus or motivation because they think that successful people have some unstoppable passion and willpower that they seem to be missing.

But that's exactly the opposite. Instead, really successful people feel the same boredom and the same lack of motivation that everyone else feels.

They don't have some magic pill that makes them feel ready and inspired everyday.

But the difference is that the people who stick to their goals don't let their emotions determine their actions.

Top performers still find a way to show up, to work thru the boredom, and to embrace the daily practice that is required to achieve their goals.

It is the ability to do the work when it's not easy that separates the top performers from everyone else. That's the difference between professionals and amateurs.

What about when the work is not easy ?

It is the ability to work when work isn't easy that makes the difference.

If you look at people who are constantly achieving their goals, you start to realise that it's not the events or the results that makes them different.

It's their commitment to the process. They fall in love with the daily practice, not the individual event.

What's funny, of course, is that this focus on the process is what will allow you to enjoy the results.

If you want to become significantly better at anything, you have to fall in love with the process of doing it.

You have to fall in love with building the identity of someone who does the work, rather than merely dreaming about the results you want.

In other words,

Fall in love with boredom. Fall in love with repetition and practice. Fall in love with the process of what you do and let the results take care of themselves!

That's all heehee :D
