“It’s exhausting and fruitless to live by motivation and willpower alone. You’ll only fail yourself, time and again. You’ll have all your goals and all your intentions, and you’ll watch them get higher and higher and more out of reach. Your ideal life and your actual life will start to diverge more and more, and you’ll feel that distance to be an indictment of your weakness and smallness of character.”
