Motivation is real, and you need it. But in order to maintain motivation, you’ll have to do more than cheering and hyping yourself up. You’ll have to be and do the things that make you who you are in the first place, as much as possible, even if you don’t have time for this. I know you don’t have time for anything but the bare minimum that will get you out of the horrible circumstances you’re stuck in. Figure something out.

You have to live according to your true values and what matters to you the most from the start, not after you figure everything out. Whatever that you desire, whatever that you think you’re capable of, whatever that you consider living up to your full potential, you have to do all that anyway, even if you’re still stuck under unlivable circumstances that make you want nothing but fixing your life. You have to do all of that, in order to stay who you are. In order to not devolve into someone who doesn’t give a damn anymore about making anything better. By staying on track, you will lose motivation to stay on track.

That’s the whole point of fixing your life! To get to a stage where you can do everything you ever wanted, without everything else falling apart!

If you can do the same things every single day for years in order to fix your life, why not stay like this forever? Why are you trying to get to a life where you can do a ton of interesting and exciting things at will all the time in the first place, if you have no issue doing the same thing every single day for decades if that’s what it takes to make maximum progress towards fixing your life?

You have to fix your life. You have to get your life together, as fast as you can, no matter the cost.

Make sure you don’t lose yourself or what makes you who you are in the process.
