How do I motivate myself? I don’t know

I really don’t, I think it started when I realized that it was either do nothing and blame the world or take control of my life

That simple decision to be the captain of my own life forced the realization that if you do nothing, nothing is going to change

And then I heard someone say “don’t make it a dream, make it a goal”

That right there was a game changer, because for the longest I had always heard, “chase your dreams” but no one ever said what shoes to wear, how fast to run, or how far to chase

But if it’s a goal, it can be linked to a time and place

Because a goal can be broken down into small steps

So how do I motivate myself? I ask myself, if I cant even take that small step is that final place really something I want?

And if that doesn’t get me to take that small step, I need to revaluate if this so called “dream” of mine is really worth it

I motivate myself with logic, I don’t want to spend the rest of my days doing the same thing with small highlights of rest

I don’t want to be defined by what I got on a test

I want better for myself because I love myself

So if you ask me how I motivate myself, its “logic”

If I love myself I would put in the effort to create the best situation for myself, right? Wouldn’t I fight, if I was thrown into the dark wouldn’t I try to find the light?

Its only logical that I do my best for me

Another trick that Ive learned is the use of excuses

Im tired, so today I will rest up, forgetting the fact that yesterday you did the same, excuses are so convenient

So I had to train my mind to not use certain words in reference to myself, because the law of attraction is real, I tell myself I can do it

I speak my reality into existence as if I am making a promise to myself that I have to keep or disappoint the possibility that never got a chance to be, I limited my life’s goal to just being happy

And that freed up a lot of space that used to be occupied with anxiety, pressure and the fear of failure
