"Yassin, are you happy?"

Motivation and discipline are what are going to fuel you into achieving any goals that you want. Most people do not comprehend the duo of success, motivation, and discipline: they are essential to our daily lives. But what we as a generation failed to do is to rely on discipline. Everyone can have the spark of motivation to start, but not everyone has the ability and discipline to keep it going. Take New Year's resolution for an example. People have enough motivation to say, "New year means new me." Few commit to their words.
So, it is essential, my brother, to take your motivation and throw it out. Imagine yourself removing "motivation" from your life. Focus on building your future with only discipline. That is a more paramount thing to focus on doing than basing your action on emotion. Success is what you need to do. Success is doing what you want to do. This reminds me of my conversation.
This reminds me of a conversation that I had with someone. When I was asked," Yassin, why are you not happy?" I laughed at hearing such an absurd question, and I responded curiously. "What do you mean I'm not happy?" The reason why I was asked the question is due to me constantly working and being on my grind. But the overall conversation was for me to enjoy my life while I still could do so. I was misunderstood. I grind and work hard to be happy. Being productive is me being happy. I told them, "I live life by doing what I need to do, not what I want to do." Of course, there is always a balance in life. That is for figuring out the balance you are comfortable committing to.
So, to wrap it up, do what you need to do. Do not do what you want to do. Stay hungry, and you will win.
