LOL, this blog series is beginning to look like a mini rant page...? Today is motivation day. I'm going to be dishing out something along the lines of "aspire to acquire your desire not to retire but to inspire..." type stuff.😂😂😂
Okay, discipline and motivation. It is very easy to get motivated. The extent and source of this motivation can vary among people but in the long run, it is easy to get that surge when you stumble on that Instagram post telling you to get off your ass. Chances are you didn't even get up, or you did but it was very short. Well, that's motivation for you. It's like a pulsating effect.
On the other hand, discipline is not just a spur to do something but the acceptance that you are changing something entirely within you. All this seems cliche right? Well, that's true its cliche. We have heard it hundreds of times but why are we not all as disciplined as we ought to be? Take your time and internalize it. Discipline and consistency is doing it even on days when you don't feel like doing it. Emphasis on the word "feel". I am sure I am not the only one juggling ALX SE with other activities like school, work or family. But show up every day... open your laptop even if it is 15 mins of deep work. Ok, 15 minutes might not be enough for some people. I hope you get my point anyway. Keep showing up!
You might have written 4 hours of coding or learning every day, but even after managing your time to every detail...you couldn't meet up. Don't be discouraged. Show up! That's when it becomes a part of you.
I hope you took my pep talk to heart 😂😂
The posts would get more technical when I start Python. The project involves making a simple shell I will go into more detail in the next post.
See you in the next one!
