It's very true that we all face challenges. That's why we need to stay motivated when things get tough. In such situation, what I do is set small goals and focus on my progress. These little things have really helped me a lot.

I always set a clear simple goals, reminding myself the reason why I need to stand tall and not faint. Focusing on my progress, Celebrate the small wins that I got and most importantly practice self-care and having positive mindset towards the goal.

If I am feeling less motivated, I put down the drugs, I mean, the cellphone. I disconnect, as that is often the reason I am feeling that way. It's easy to view your life as lesser when looking through the lens of other people's lives and their experiences or accomplishments.

Then, I go for a run. You ever go for a long run? You will feel great.

The feeling from a run lasts quite a while, and that'll get me motivated to get back to things again. Of course, after a hot shower to wash off, and a ice cold one to cold down.

I also get inspired in others' stories too.

Just don't get too involved in them as they can distract and make you procrastinate, never being able to achieve what they have, because you're too busy wrapped up in how they made their lives that you're not making yours.

I see it all too often.

Take my dogs for a walk, smoke weed. I pretty much try to clear my head, and get back to the grind.

Yeah, sometimes you do just need to completely disconnect. It's great for overall mental health too.

I will have times that I purposefully leave my phone in my car so that I am 100% focused on family. Having that time is also a way to stay motivated too, to know what you're doing things for, and for who you're building a legacy for.
