Fuck motivation. It’s a fickle and unreliable little state that isn’t worth your time. Better to cultivate discipline than to rely on motivation. Force yourself to do things, to get out of bed, to go the gym, to work harder and smarter; force yourself to do stuff when you don’t feel like doing anything. Motivation is fleeting, and it’s easy to rely on because it requires no concentrated effort to get. Motivation comes to you, you don’t even have to chase after it. Discipline is reliable; motivation is momentary. The real question isn’t how to keep yourself motivated, it’s how to train yourself to work without it.

work hard now. stay up those extra hours studying for that test. rewrite your notes by hand. read the textbook again. go over your flash cards a second time. it is tough but nothing can beat the feeling of getting a grade you worked hard for and earned. you can do it, i believe in you.

the only person you should compare yourself to, is yourself.

The vasculature and underlying musculature of the neck and surrounding regions.  Ascending the side of the neck is the common carotid artery. When you take your pulse at the side of your neck (try placing a finger just beneath the rear corner of the jaw), it is the pressure wave caused by ventricular systole of the heart that is felt in this vessel.  Illustration from Traité complet de l’anatomie de l’homme comprenant la médecine operatoire by Jean-Baptiste Marc Bourgery.

stop telling girls interested in lit that they need to read these great american classics by violent misogynists in order for their opinions to be valid or for their minds to be developed

Stop taking pride in your ability to destroy yourself.

[enoughtohold]

the idea that bi women are all inevitably destined to “end up with” men, that our relationships with women no matter how long or how serious are just meaningless, temporary diversions on our way into the arms of men, that this must be true because attraction to women couldn’t possibly ever sustain itself in the face of all-powerful, all-superior attraction to men, is deeply homophobic and deeply harmful and i won’t let it stand

[enoughtohold]

i’m bringing this back because i still see this idea go unchallenged everywhere — in straight circles, in gay circles, and yes, in bi circles. and it’s not acceptable anywhere.
