there is no guarantee that you won’t have a bad day, get tired, feel frustrated, say things you shouldn’t say, do things you shouldn’t do, or be misunderstood.
To really think, on a regular basis.
...Think about what's important to you
...Think about what's actually going on
...Think about what might be hidden from view
...Think about what the rest of the chessboard really looks like
...Think about what the meaning of life really is
Your entire life can really change in a year. You just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more, and be disciplined enough to actually work for more. You can do it. You got this.
This paragraph by C.S. Lewis, written in 1952, still hits hard:
“We all want progress. But progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be. And if you have taken a wrong turning, then to go forward does not get you any nearer. If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.”
