It’s easy to do nothing.
But all those nothings add up to one big something.
A loosening of our internal stitches is caused by a lack of care and maintenance.
Keeping an eye on the simple things in our control every day adds up to a tighter sense of self.
Avoidance is easy today.
I’ll take care of it tomorrow means I don’t care and I never will.
I need to do that right now means this is important and will always be important.
Creating daily habits and goals builds up a rhythm of success, but it is hard to start.
These words are all advice to myself.
I need it.
It’s painful to admit to being a mañana kind of guy.
Time to add some difficulty today.
I’m in search of an easy life, the hard way.
