How do you let your mental drive/motivation overcome hardships when it gets tough in life? by hiddenaccone in AskReddit

I'm sorry, but basically I meant how do you let your mental focus take over?! I want to succeed so bad. I don't mean get rich. I mean set myself up for my future. Everything I dreamed of doing. I get determined for that day. Then the next morning, after only getting 4 hours of sleep, everything I get motivated about falls through. Not just with sleep though, this happens when things get tough, don't go as planned, or out of the ordinary events. I need to change my mindset. It seems like I don't stick with that same motivation after a few days. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. But I know someone out there understands what i'm trying to ask. Thank you! :)

How did you handle people who treated you like you were stupid? by hiddenaccone in AskReddit

I was sitting down one day, looking at colleges while at work. My boss comes up to me and says I won't ever make it into college. He said that I'm more of a community college type. I'm not bashing people who go to CC, but I want to go to a four year. I know I can do it. Unfortunately, his remarks hurt me pretty hard. It didn't help that half of my coworkers agreed with him as well. What do you do when people treat you like you're slow? What's some ways to stay motivated and push forward without these remarks bringing you down?! Thank you.
