How to keep motivated

The past few weeks have been the most stressful and dreadful EVER. I loathed myself, my self-esteem was low, I didn't believe in myself, I was lethargic, I didn't feel like doing anything, and I had absolutely no motivation to do anything at all ever. I was engaging in self-destructive behavior and I just wanted do die all the time. 

But today, I was inspired again. 

Listening to Konuma San's lecture gave me hope and motivation to strive for my goal.

He taught me that it's 思い that moves people, not skills or logic. It's all about passion and skills will inevitably follow. I shouldn't forget this. I will keep on striving to save the less fortunate, stop climate change and make a world where everyone can live happily.

He said I should invent a mechanism where I am forced to be reminded of my passion to never lose sight. I will do this by reading his blog and watching videos where people are suffering and displaced by climate change.

"The more people criticize you, the more likely that your idea is innovative". 

他人に認められないからこそ、今の常識を超えているアイディアを持っているということ。自分が信じる道を突き進もう。頑張ろう。

辛い時もある。やめたくなる時もある。でも続ける。
