just take the next step
they're 30,000 feet above. you want it all. you have all these goals, but, they're so far away.
you're so hard on yourself, tortured by thoughts of inadequacy, self-doubt, stupidity. like a smoke-filled car you feel like you will combust any second now.
But just take the next step, the next film—no, the next shot, The next jiu-jitsu system—no, the next roll, The next research write-up—no, the next read.
84,000 seconds in a day. spend it wisely.
just take the next step. brick by brick. one day you'll have your castle.
I wrote this as a reminder to myself, something I figure I'll keep coming back to.
