That’s it for tonight. Sleep well and have sweet dreams.
Don’t forget that:
-Where focus goes, energy flows.
-Decide what you want and go after it with everything you got.
-Wait for no one. Start right now.

Rise and shine - Athlete and running ultimate motivation.mp4
Rise and shine!
6 am and your hand can't make it to the alarm clock before the voices in your head start telling you that "it's too early, too dark and too cold to get out of bed".
Aching muscles lie still in rebellion pretending not to hear your brain commanding them to move. A legion of voices are shouting their unanimous permision for you to hit that snooze button and go back to dreamland. But you didn't ask for their oppinion. The voice you have chosen to listen to is one of defiance. The voice that says there was a reason you set that alarm in the first place.
So sit up, put your feet on the floor and don't look back because we've got work to do.
Welcome to the grind.
For, what is each day but a series of conflicts between the right way and the easy way. 10,000 streams fan out like a river delta before you, each one promising the path of least resistence. Thing is, you're heading upstream, and when you make that choice, when you decide to turn your back on what's confortable and safe and what someone called "common sense", well that's day one. From there it only gets tougher, so just make sure this is something you want because the easy way out will always be there, ready to wash you away, all you have to do is pick up your feet.
But you aren't going to, are you? With each step comes the decision to take another. You are on your way now, but this is no time to dwell on how far you've come. You are on a fight against an opponent you can't see but oh you can feel him on your heels. Can't you? Feel him breathing down your neck. You know what that is? That's you. Your fears, your doubts and insecurities, all ganged up like a fireing squad ready to shoot you out of the sky.
But don't lose heart, while they are not easely defeated they are far from invincible. Remember, this is The Grind, the battle royale between you and your mind, your body and the devil on your shoulder who's telling you "this is just a game, this is just a waste of time, your opponents are stronger than you". Drown out the voice of uncertainty with the sound of your own heartbeat, burn away yourself down with the fire deep beneath you. Remember what we are fighting for and never forget that momentum is a cruel mistress, she can turn on a dime with the smallest mistake, she is ever searching for the weak place in your armor, that one tiny thing you forgot to prepare for. So as long as the demon is hiding the details the question remains: Is that all you got? Are you sure? And when the awnser is yes. When you have done all you can to prepare yourself for battle. Then it's time to go forth and boldly face your enemy, the enemy within.
Only now you must take that fight into the open, into hostile territory. You are a lion in a field of lions, all hunting the same elusive prey with a desperate starvation that says victory is the only thing that can keep you alive. So believe that voice that says "you can run a little faster and you can throw a little harder, that for you, the laws of physics are merely a suggestion."
Luck is the last dying wish of those who want to believe that winning can happen by accident. Sweat on the other hand is for the those who know it's a choice. So decide now, because destiny waits for no man. And when your time comes and a thousand different voices are trying to tell you: "you are not ready for it", listen instead to that lone voice of discent, one that says "you are ready, you are prepared, it's all up to you now"
So rise and shine!

Good morning everyone
Why is it that some learners learn faster than others?
Why is it that we find it difficult to recall the words we studied a week ago, let go using them?
The first question is usually asked by teachers. The second is asked by students. Most people think that there must be a secret which they are not aware of yet. But the truth is that there are no secrets. Actually I am the one who doesn’t believe in secrets. I believe that there must a “method” which we usually by mistake call a “secret”. Most of us know how to study but few of us know how to do it properly. What I am trying to help you achieve through the #study_skills series is a better understanding of how things must be done for the results to be in your favor.
I'm going to tell you more on how to learn vocabulary this evening. Have a good day ahead
