You don’t have to believe yet you can do it. As long as you’re ready to do it anyway. Regardless of what you believe.
#482 These are invalid excuses
“It’s too late for this.” “The world isn’t ready for that.” Both are invalid excuses to not do the work. You’ll always fall behind. And you’ll always be ahead of your time. All you can do is getting the most out of the now, while keeping in mind the past and keeping an eye on…
#481 Short-term pain vs long-term gain
