Guys…guys

let me tell you a joke.

Motivation

Yo, what’s going on?

A lot of you guys have asked me

how to stay motivated to learn English.

Today I’ll address that

and say something really important.

You should not seek motivation but commitment.

What do I mean?

Let’s take two people into consideration.

Mr. A and Mr. B

Mr. A watched a video on YouTube

and gets really motivated to go for a run the next day.

Mr. B is someone who really has a plan

and is committed to going for a run no matter what.

The next day the weather is cold

Mr. A wakes up

goes outside

the breeze hits his face and says:

today is cold let’s do it tomorrow.

Goes back to his bed and sleeps some more.

But Mr. B goes out

the same things happen to him.

He goes in…not to sleep some more

but to get a jacket…

He hits the road

and finishes his jogging session for that day.

You see?

That is the difference between motivation and commitment.

There are some days that you don’t feel like doing something

but you gotta do it anyway.

Because:

Successful people do what they need to do

whether they feel like it or not.

Just like a romantic relationship

you are going to talk to your partner every day no matter what…

can you tell your partner I wasn’t in a good mood

so, sorry I haven’t called you for two weeks?

In this case English is your partner

never stop calling it

stay in touch with it every day

even if you are not in a mood to do so…

This was my fifth mistake.

I had always wanted to stay motivated

because I wanted my body to feel good.

But here’s the problem

your body won’t feel good by itself

but you gotta MAKE IT feel good.

choosing something that you like the most.

In my case I loved listening to AJ hoge’s contents

reading manga

novels

watching stand-up shows…

I loved doing those things so I could do them every day.

So the tip of the day for you is

to remember to have a daily plan

stay committed to it

and make it as fun as possible

so that you can do it every single day.

Until next time!

See ya!
