If we want to get what we want we have to learn to give up.
If you have a big dream you have to work on it every single day. Giving up on the things that are not important is essential to reach your dream.
Most of us dream of something to make our life better but we waste our time making excuses and we waste our time doing nothing to achieve it.
It’s not about we lack motivation, it’s about we lack action.
Notice this cycle. When problems hit us, we start dreaming, you tell yourself “someday I will reach my dream, I don’t like this kind of life”.
Then, after sometime when you feel good again by doing unproductive things like gossiping, too much watching un-educational programs, going out with friends and have a party, etc.
