when youre lost in darkness, look for the light

today was the best day of the year so far-ive done small amounts of everything ive been postponing. i started studying mandarin and filmed a little bit of the process, started studying for this years college applications and posted online! i didnt spend much time on any of these things but id still call today a success. i saw a quote somewhere that really changed my perspective on life, it was something along the lines of "its better to do something half assed than nothing at all."

if your goal is to, lets say, study 3 hours daily, but you can only complete one full hour, its better to study that hour than to rot in bed feeling sorry for yourself.

when youre lost in the darkness, look for the light. you cant wait for a miracle- it wont come. you have to save yourself

ill try to avoid perceiving the road to my achievements as torturous. ill try to enjoy the process
