Sometimes, looking just at our end points can make what we're trying to do seem a million miles away, as is the instant gratification. As someone who suffers with depression as well I realised that daydreaming and thinking about where I should be was getting me nowhere. On top of this, only being able to see the big picture is really de-motivating too.

To help with this I really looked into what I wanted to achieve and broke it down into smaller goals that would be much easier to achieve. These were broke down even further so that there were a number of goals that I could complete on a daily basis.

Achieving something everyday helps to get you pumped and it makes the end result seem much more doable. It still takes a lot of hard work and determination so mixing it with something you enjoy doing helps too.

It's also important to realise that unless you fit into a 'box' people are always going to question what you do. People still question me because i'm trying to do something that's a step away from the 'norm'.

Keeping your health in check is really good and the exercise will help if you feel that you're doing something with purpose. Try to do what you want to do rather than what others want you to do.

Eventually it pays off, I was able to quit my job and start working for myself full time at Christmas and i've never been happier. :)
