talking to people who’s sense of humour is incompatible with yours is painful and scary

- to be kissed.
- to not be nervous about my future.

Motivation is overrated. No amount of motivation would’ve gotten me through hours of my accounting textbook. No “vision” is enough to keep me awake til the crack of dawn on an essay that I don’t even know if the professor will check. Discipline is what determines how far you go. On those days when your cute little list of #goals and vision of yourself 5 years from now aren’t enough, discipline will pull you out of bed and get you to work. I wish I knew this in high school because I thought I couldn’t work without motivation. I wasted so much time trying to find purpose before I realized that working now, albeit blindly, will ensure that I could chase any purpose I discover in the future. Sure, motivation is crucial, but it’s not consistent. It’s not reliable. You can only rely on yourself and your grit.
This is so important though. Motivation doesn’t get me out of bed at 6am to run. When my alarm goes off at 5:30am I have 0 motivation to move even an inch, it’s discipline that drives me to get up despite how awful I feel and get on with it.
