Biggest mistake was not pushing myself to the limit every time, you don’t need a reason, you must do the most, because your life is actually at stake

I saw a quote that said "to procrastinate is to willingly endure the discomfort of anticipation, rather than the discomfort of action. Both are burdens, but only one leads to progress" and if that didn't light a fire in me.
