Next week I’m gonna start reviewing for my board exam (wooo this is it!). It’s my third time so I’m giving my very very best this time. I always giving my best when I’m taking my exams but I think it’s not really my time. I don’t know why this is happening to me but I think God has a better plan for me. It’s really hard for me to start again and seeing my batchmates who are very successful now but here I am taking the exams again and believing to myself that i can do it. I will never give up on my dreams. So here are my 10 motivations to study and get over on my final hurlde (itataglish ko na to medyo nahirapan ako sa intro ko lol charot!).
Be Productive. I will not waste my time doing productive at unimportant things. Siguro yun din yung mali ko dati kasi nagagawa ko pang mag mall. Pero gagawin ko yun kapag talagang natapos ko na yung mga aaralin at mga gagawin ko.
Reality check. I will push myself because no one else is going to do it for me. Sabi nga nila Push lang! Achieved! (haaay yung version ni james reid nito ang cute ng pagkakasabi haha)
Excuses. No more excuses! If it is important to me, I will find a way. If not, I will find an excuse. Yes this is really my problem. Kapag natatamad talaga ako hindi ako nag-aaral at maraming beses yun nauulit. Kaya no no no na sa mga excuses. Kapag aral, aral talaga.
Prepare myself. Stop procrastinating. The secret to getting ahead is getting started. Don't wait until the last minute to study for a big exam or read a 90-page chapter. If it is assigned Monday and due Friday, start on Monday and finish early in the week so I don't have to worry about it at the last minute.
Believe to myself. Even if I don’t, I will pretend that I can do it and some point I will. Kapag nasa struggling stage na ako ng pag-aaral, nawawala na yung tiwala ko sarili ko kasi naiinis ako bakit hindi ko agad mapick-up yung mga inaaral ko.
Don’t compare. Inaamin ko hindi ko talaga maiwasan na hindi icompare yung sarili ko sa iba. Pero nakakababa din pala yun ng self-esteem. Kaya dapat focus na lang ako sa kung ano ang dapat kong gawin. Pero hindi rin naman masama na magcompare tayo pero dapat yung pinagcocompare natin sa sarili natin ay yung nakakamotivate satin.
Have big ambitions. The expert in anything was once a begginer. Walang nagiging successful na hindi dumaan sa paghihirap. Simple as that. Kaya I always dream big.
Reward myself. Hindi naman masama na bigyan ko sarli ko ng reward. Yung simpleng reward lang like eating on my favorite restaurant, buying myself a blouse, watching my favorite movie or seeing my loveone, friends and family. Having a relaxation time will be better.
Always see the end of the road. I’m telling that it’s not going to be easy, I’m telling that it’s going to be worth it. Ito ang ginagawa ko ngayon. Kahit ilang beses na akong nadapa, bumabangon parin ako. Lagi naman andyan family ko and friends and loveone para pagaanin loob ko.
Think about the future. A year from now I’ll wish i had started today. Kaya ngayon pa lang pagsisikapan ko na talaga to. Lagi kong navivisualize yung mga goals ko sa buhay at ang saya lang kapag na-aacomplish ko yun. Kaya kahit anong mangyari dapat positive lang ako at hindi ko na iisipin yung sinasabi ng ibang tao.
I’m getting nervous on what will happen to me at the end of this. Last chance ko na kasi ito at hindi ko na alam gagawin ko kapag hindi ko pa nakuha yung tatlong letters na gusto kong madagdag sa name ko, yung RMT! God please help me on my journey. This will be a bumpy ride for me. Godbless to me and Hi sa mga makakabasa nito :)
