I'm sure we all encounter a point in life, when your goal seems within arms length, only to find yourself... feeling nothing. Nothing at all. The power and effort you've put to get there, and suddenly your motivation has vanished.
Poof. Gone.
You've climbed mountains (metaphorically of course), you've accomplished things you never dreamed you would. But now, here you are, puzzled as fuck about how you're going to get your ass out of your chair.
I find myself in the same scenario.
But guess what? I won't let this hopelessness consume my life. I won't let it dictate what I do.
I, a sleep deprived teenager, pledge to try again. I will aim for my goals, even if I have failed previously. Failure will not be an obstacle, it'll simply fuel my fire.
Whenever someone tells me that my chances of success are slim, I will simply smile at them, because I know that putting hard work in will pay off in the long run. The opinions of others will not deter me.
Whenever there are brief lapses in my optimism, I will look back at what I have achieved, or think of what I will achieve and strive onwards.
I may stand small at 4 "11. I may be overlooked as a child. I may be a naïve 17 year old, but I will not overlook my aspirations, nor those who matter to me in life. In the past I had bulimic tendencies and depressive thoughts. But they have come and gone; these periods of time have not broken me. I am simply stronger and wiser. I know how to avoid them.
I have made mistakes. I have my weaknesses. But I can only improve myself from these. And that is what I am going to do.
So I brace myself for what is to come. For the struggles, sweat and tears. For the emotional resilience that will be demanded of me.
I may fall, but I will not fail.
