Motivation

Lately I have been hit by a big wave of motivation to do things. After going through fifteen interviews, I finally landed another job at another company, so I am quite happy with that. But on top of that I have started a bunch of things I am interested in, namely languages.

I have rediscovered my love of learning with me now taking classes in; Norwegian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), Greek, Korean, and French! Each of these are at various levels so it is not all from scratch. I am however focusing my efforts in one or two of them as it would be impossible to get a high efficiency in learning if I split my attention too much, and it would do major things to my motivation.

Now onto what I actually wanted to say, I feel like motivation is such an ethereal idea. It comes and goes, and people always talk about ‘just’ doing something. This does not make sense in my ears. Motivation and drive and whatever else you want to call it is not something that one can usually just summon from the ether.

My motivations and thoughts behind learning all these languages have their own story behind them. Basically what I am saying is, I know what I am doing haha.
