It’s not only about trudging onward. Life is about motivation and rewards. If you’ve done something amazing lately, shout about it.
Say, “Level UP,” loud enough everyone can hear you.
It doesn’t matter if they ask you how long since your last dose of medication. It doesn’t matter if they think you’re nuts. What matters most here is that you hear yourself. You need the internal validation most of all. The internal validation will create internal motivation.
Once you master motivating yourself, you’ll be on to the next level faster than a razor over Sinead O’Connor’s head.
Of course motivation is not the only thing to think about here. Rewards are important too. Let’s say you completed day 61 of a 60 day Keto diet. Reward yourself with a can of nuts.
Or, as another example, I just finished setting up a web page for people to share their favorite, most profound questions of life (see the previous post). I said, “Level UP!” and rewarded myself with a super lazy day off.
The day off, so you know, was followed by a day of work. (There’s the motivation kicking in.)
The point is not a simple, “You can do this.” It’s also, “You can ROCK at this!”

I love this idea of not being ashamed to say, “Level UP!” in public. It doesn’t matter what they think. How long will it take before they forget about you? Minutes.
