Motivation is useless.

I had literally zero motivation today and yesterday when I got home from school, to study or do any work.

But I just showed up. I just opened the book and started reading. I did as much as I could. But I MADE ACTIVE EFFORT. I didn’t let it slide.

I wouldn’t have ever known what i could do if i never even tried.

Even though i left it when i didn’t understand it, i had already done what mattered. I had tried of my own accord. Done my part. Now i would ask the teacher and understand it.

You might not be satisfied with the amount or quality of work you got done but bro you literally made progress with your discipline; do you not understand?

Where you would’ve left it completely, you actually tried. You tried for once. EXERCISED your discipline. Keep doing that every day and that is literally what you call consistency. Consistency is not that i GOT this done the way i WANTED to every single day of the year. It’s that i actively tried and committed the time to the task the way i was SUPPOSED TO. Period.

Motivation is useless. You need to just show up. Just DO it as much as you can. 1% better than yesterday, for tomorrow i will try again and understand more Insha Allah.

Today i have a 45 min biology study sesh coming up and i am NOT excited for that at all. But guess what, it will get done. Because i said so. I might not learn everything i wanted. But i will FORCE MY BODY to sit down for 45 mins with my bio notes in front of me.

Do that every day, and you my friend, are disciplined.

Salaam.

Ahmad.
