Most failures are one-time costs. Most regrets are recurring costs. The pain of inaction stings longer than the pain of incorrect action. - James Clear

When scientists analyze people who appear to have tremendous self-control, it turns out those individuals aren’t all that different from those who are struggling. Instead, “disciplined” people are better at structuring their lives in a way that does not require heroic willpower and self-control. In other words, they spend less time in tempting situations.

It's not a race.

You are not ahead. You are not behind. You are here.

Enjoy it and make the most of it.
