In 2018: I don’t want to worry about what others think. I want to sweat often. I want to feel light in the heart. I want to walk with my chin up. I want to read more books. I don’t want to regret. I want to put my mental health first. I want to do more yoga. I want to be more kind. I don’t want to focus on the negative. I want to live confidently. 

Day 1 of 2018

#i am a weak and simple woman okay

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.
