It is so tough to stay Motivated! Or is it?

I studied hard for a class, I failed, I lost interest

I worked out a lot, I did not lose my belly fat, I lost interest

I ate healthy food most of the time, I fell sick, I lost interest

I worked on a lot of projects and contacted numerous recruiters & designers, I did not get my dream job, I lost interest

I wrote 5 articles, I collectively got only 250 views and 25 recommendations, I lost interest

I gave so much, I got nothing in return, I lost interest

I tried hard to save money, I met with a car accident and had to pay for the damages, I lost interest

I apologized and begged, I did not get forgiveness, I lost interest

I wanted to enjoy, I had responsibilities to fulfil, I lost interest

I always tried looking nice and pretty, I was called ugly by someone, I lost interest

I designed a lot, I did not get much appreciation for my designs, I lost interest

I tried being smart, I was still called dumb, I lost interest

I tried being smart, I was still called dumb, I started reading a lot

I designed a lot, I did not get much appreciation for my designs, I started taking inspiration from other’s appreciated designs

I always tried looking nice and pretty, I was called ugly by someone, I now try to look well-dressed and healthy

I wanted to enjoy, I had responsibilities to fulfil, I sacrificed some of them

I apologized and begged, I did not get forgiveness, I moved on

I tried hard to save money, I met with a car accident and had to pay for the damages, I sold my car and did not have to pay for insurance, gas or fines anymore

I gave so much, I got nothing in return, I gave it to someone else

I wrote 5 articles, I collectively got only 250 views and 25 recommendations, I continued writing and the number grew slowly but steadily

I worked on a lot of projects and contacted numerous recruiters & designers, I did not get my dream job, I got a job

I ate healthy food most of the time, I fell sick, I did not fall too sick and recovered immediately

I worked out a lot, I did not lose my belly fat, I got toned legs

I studied hard for a class, I failed, I changed the class!

The second half is a reflection of the first half — but the change is in the place of losing interest. You appreciate what you got out of doing something instead of giving up because you did not get the anticipated outcome.

Note to self and others: There is always a positive outcome out of any efforts that you put it, it is just the way you perceive it. If you feel there is no positive outcome, then change the way you are doing it or continue doing it.

Never lose hope or motivation because, with every stroke you make and every stroke you erase, you are creating something amazing in your canvas of life.
