You can always reframe your goals and set reasonable expectations for yourself. People often use “It’s a marathon, not a race” as a metaphor for achieving long term goals. I think this metaphor sucks because a marathon is still kind of a race. Achieving your goals is more like putting coins in a piggybank. You will only be able to put in so many coins each day. And some days you will have no coins to give. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t put any coins in yesterday nor that you won’t put coins in tomorrow. Be kind to yourself and know that you will get there eventually. Growth is not about intensity, It’s about consistency.

Hell yeah cream gains 💪

Used to not like coffee. Then I started to love the taste because I associated it with caffeine. Now I get too jittery so I drink decaf. Life is ironic.
