"Character, willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life -- is the source from which self-respect springs."
--Joan Didion
I read the above two quotes from Joan Didion in my daily reading this morning. Both of them really struck a chord with me. Especially the second quote.
That one hit hard.
The fear of failure could prevent you from ever really trying. If you don't try, then you will never succeed.
Coming off of a holiday weekend, where I ate several things I shouldn't have, and worked out way less than I should have, the thought of wasting a gift through sloth seemed like it was speaking directly to me.
That said, it is in the past.
Do. Better. Today.
