Do you start studying when you feel like it or do you start studying even when you do not feel like it?
How days have you said “I will start studying tomorrow” and then you did not start?
Are you really focused when you are studying or are you just sitting with your books open?
When things get tough do you keep going. Do you switch to something easier?
You do not become good at medicine by studying hard just sometimes.
Medicine is about studying a bit every day even when it does not feel like you are getting anywhere.
The truth is, being consistent does not look like you are doing anything every day.
It looks normal until you start to see results from being consistent every day.
Discipline will help you achieve your goals even when you do not feel like it.
So be honest, with yourself: Are you waiting to feel motivated to study medicine or are you building the discipline to study medicine every day?
Let us talk about it. What is one thing you are trying to do every day to get better at medicine?
