I mean, why? Does it really matter, in or after the end, if you stopped?

I see you are young. It's ok to fail as long as you fail forward. That means as long as you learned something. Improve your thoughts and strengthen your emotions. It's easy to give up. But it's a hell of a lot harder to stand back up. Life isn't easy only the strongest make a difference. But that just means you grow in strength by dealing with the hardest parts. Think of life as going to the gym. You don't do it to lift the same lightweight you do it to lift heavier weight. To run longer than to run longer faster. You can't accomplish that by lifting the same weights or running at the same pace or distance. You look in the mirror every morning, thats the one person you have to convince. What do you tell that person.

Okay, but the way in which one should change their behavior in each of those situations is vastly different...

Inb4 Reddit jumps all over this to explain how this is wrong and the primary ingredient in the recipe for success is luck.

It’s totally not an effort to excuse mediocrity. Not at all. You can only be successful if you’re born into it or lucky.

That’s the only way. Reddit told me.

All those hard working people, lucky. They didn’t do anything extraordinary. All their efforts? Useless. It was just luck.

EDIT In case anyone didn’t grasp the sarcasm:

“Chance favors the prepared mind." - Louis Pasteur

Imposter syndrome is a bitch aint it. Do I suck? Do I need to be this hard on myself to stop myself from doing a bad job? Am I actually doing a good job and being to hard on myself? When people tell me I'm doing a good job are they being honest or are they just being polite?

WHO FUCKING KNOWS
