7 Steps for Maintaining Motivation
1. Grasp that it’s YOUR life, and no-one else’s life.
2. Decide to “live on purpose”.
3. Recognise that achievement has a price tag attached to it – and decide you’ll pay that price.
4. Work on constantly maintaining your focus.
5. Chose a skill or a field and become competent, or an expert, in that area.
6. Find other people who will hold you to your goals – and will believe in, and encourage you, to strive to reach your dreams.
7. Consciously notice the progress you are making, and remind yourself “it’s worth it” as you’re further on the path.
I learned not to trust people; I learned not to believe what they say but to watch what they do; I learned to suspect that anyone and everyone is capable of 'living a lie'. I came to believe that other people - even when you think you know them well - are ultimately unknowable.

Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the Universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just give up.

I’m not suffering from depression. I’m living with it. We’re passive aggressive, odd couple roommates.
I want to live in a clean, organized home and my depression wants to live in an actual dumpster. I want to cook a healthy meal but my depression has already ordered in. I want to get up early and face the day, but my depression always hits the snooze button.
But the thing is? We’re still together. And sometimes I can drag my depression off the couch and we clean the bathroom. Sometimes we bake cookies together and then eat them while we watch netflix. Sometimes I leave my depression at home and go out for a night with my friends.
The key part of living with depression is living. With it or despite it.
