Final Words:

I just do the best that I can do, at this minute, on this day. Then I do better or I do more tomorrow. At the end of the day, if you can tell yourself that you did that, that you did at least one thing different, took at least one concrete step that you didn’t take the day before, made one new acquaintance, if you can just do the best you can today, then do it a little better tomorrow, then eventually you’ll get there.
