I hear many folks complain that they are moody and paralyzed by fatigue. We all tend to rationalize that dull, funky feeling we get when we melt the candle at both ends. These are the habits that I see ruin people's efforts at health, joy, and having days where they feel fantastic.

If your mind says "I can't," then simply tell it, "Shut up and watch me..."

No one, literally no one successful, will judge you when you do something hard. They know how difficult it is to learn a skill, and the best ones won't care if you make a mistake.

So keep showing up, you brave Soul.

You'll inspire the rest of us just by trying.

The hardest part of living an alternative lifestyle is getting over breaking the rules. We use others as benchmarks. We wonder if we are doing life right. We ask ourselves if we have the guts to change or give some energy to a new passion. I know from personal experience that there is a place beyond that doubt. I've taken the risk. I've put in the time and lived to tell the tale.
