DON’T STOP
It’s hard to stay motivated sometimes, especially now. It might be exhausting when you feel like you’re the only one carrying the weight. But don’t stop grinding, don’t stop believing, hold on to that feeling. Remind yourself why you got in teh game in the first place. Remember the initial spark you had which prompted you to get in the game in teh first place. Go back to that place. That will help during the dark times
