I don't know if my advice applies in all walks of life but I'll just share it anyway. My main passion at the moment is the Japanese language and something I've come to understand is that while motivation is fun, it can only get you so far, it's best to rely on discipline and making habits out of tedious processes for the most part, especially when it comes to things you'll be doing for years and years before you even begin to see actual meaningful progress.


That's what I've been trying to do. Using motivation on top of studying to be the best I can at what I'm trying to accomplish. But I can't even get anyone to read one of my books for free and no matter how good I get at drawing, I can't make people care.

I'm also sacrificing a lot so I can train to be the best fighter I can. I'm obsessed with victory and I dream of it nightly. I don't doubt myself for a second. I bleed for it day in and day out to the point of total exhaustion. I don't even enjoy food anymore, I just eat so I'll have fuel to train as much as possible. But I belong to a gym with several established pro fighters so I get mostly overlooked. I get the occasional scrap and I know that's all I deserve, but it still hurts no matter how hard I try to brush it off.

Idk. I'm also sick so it could just be that I'm feeling whiny and pathetic.

Normally I just get angry and more motivated


I don't know what else to try tbh. I train 15 hours a week so I can fight in MMA. I diet to look the best I can and be in fighting shape but I still feel like no one cares.

I write for 7, 8 hours a day and no one cares.

I draw my own comic/cartoon strip for hours a day and no one cares.

I feel like I just don't belong in any of the fields I care deeply about. I blame no one for this, so it must just be that I'm not good enough. And since I'm giving my all, I never will be.

Trying your hardest and getting nowhere you want to be is the most depressing feeling. Like you just want to crumble into dust and fade away into the wind like the worthless piece of debris you are.
