On Not-So-Motivated Days
Catharsis: Weekly Letter — #7
Dear readers
Hope you all are doing well. As for me, I was swamped with work throughout this week so I could not write much. Honestly, it was also because I was not feeling mentally motivated to do anything else. It was definitely not one of my most energetic weeks.
In retrospect, when I think about the starting of this week, I remember I was all pumped up to work, write, read, and create as much as I could. I was brimming with zeal till the second day of the week when I started losing my motivation. I guess it was just “one of those weeks”.
However, this reminded me of a quote I read long time back —
You will never always be motivated, so you must learn to be disciplined.
When we lack motivation, it always helps to replace it with discipline — that is the only key to keep things going. It takes months or even years to build something up but only a few days to witness it falling apart. The only way to not just survive but also thrive is to rely on discipline when your motivation is slightly on the blink.
Like every life’s fleeting phase, this too shall pass.
Hope your rest of the month is full of motivation, discipline, productivity, passion, and also loads of fun.
See you next week. ❤
