Thank you for the very kind words and my first ever comment in Medium, Pietro. :)

I’m hoping not to rely much on motivation during this challenge. Motivation got me started but won’t be able to keep me going as the journey gets harder. Instead, I have built a discipline system with daily goals and tasks I need to complete to keep the momentum. I’m also not doing this completely on my own. I’m (and will continue being) part of Arabic courses which give me accountability through the teachers and classmates. I will share about these systems in my next articles, God willing.
