It's hard (trust me I know) but it's worth it in the long run to get practice doing it.

Yep. Getting motivated to do things is a skill like any other, it takes practice and effort.

Spitting facts right there

And damn has it taken awhile to get vaguely good at it

I know man. I'm nearly 40. At 20 I would have never guessed I could be motivated to do things beyond my immediate needs and wants. I honestly thought it was a character flaw that I was stuck with. Not that I'm perfect now, but the progress I've made is eeally a testament to how much I've grown up.

All through my 20s I thought everyone struggled with motivation like I did but after working on it for awhile and being medicated it's like going from life at legendary difficulty to hard mode.

It's so much easier, though I still wouldn't call it easy.
