What Finally Motivated Me To Change My Life
Something was off.
I felt like I had worked so hard and yet… I was not anywhere close to where I wanted to be.
To add to that, I also did not really like myself.
I remember looking into the mirror in my tiny apartment and saw a skinny, shy, irresponsible and uncomfortable guy looking back at me.
I had a whole 20 square-meter apartment to myself, no one to share it with, was not fit, ate unhealthy, barely invested into my school, and most of my money went into alcohol or video games.
What did I study so much for?
Why did I spend so many summers taking extra classes?
Why did I stand up an hour early to take an extra class in the morning, left 3 hours later for extracurriculars, and spent so many hours studying when I could have been out with friends?
Was it all just to live in this tiny apartment with no friends, no partner and still not liking myself?
It was at that point that I tried to work on myself the first time.
I tried to invest more of myself into my friendships and relationships, tried to be more engaged in my classes and my fitness and worked even harder than before.
