Recently, i have not been feeling like myself. I am alot less talkative, and i have been focusing mainly on the negative sides of a situation. I have read so many motivational books, yet they have failed to teach me how to deal with the dark times. Sure, i have noticed that in reality, things are not too bad, but the negative feelings inside are just present at the moment.
I had been unable to stop thinking about how i am not good enough compared to other people. If i am falling behind in class, instead of knuckling down with some work, i would drown in my own self pity, i couldn’t get there, not yet at least.
I think i now know a method to get out of this depressive state i have put myself in. Writing a list down about what goals i want to achieve is paramount for me to stay focused. There is a great subtle quote in Avengers Endgame that Hawkeye says to his daughter “You see it, now you have to figure out how you are gonna get there” and this is important for many areas of life.
When it comes to comparing yourself to others, if you physically cannot stop yourself, try feeling happy for their success and use that as a drive for yours.
Remember, there is no such word as can’t, the only phrase you should be using is not yet. The “yet” makes your goals seem possible, and you will be more driven to complete them.
I’ll keep you updated on how i am doing.
