Why didn’t I start earlier? The past can’t be changed, but there’s no better time to start than now. What is the point in trying? Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed? I’m going to treat each day as my last, and make the most out of it. This is too hard. I can’t do it. Success is challenging, but that makes effort worth it. I will grow into my goals. So many people are ahead of me and doing better than I am. Everyone has different journeys and problems. Comparing is a waste of time.
