/lit/ - Literature

Your self image is at the center of everything in your life. Everything will point at it, and it will be the burning flame to make you excel or fail at anything you are currently doing.

Be it writing (am I sturdy enough to endure this writing session until completion?)
Be it exercising (I've been practicing, could I lift that much by now?)
Be it flirting (am I good enough that I can make this person feel attracted by me?)

And the most unseen truth is that you are. You will need to practice coming from ground zero, you will fail, but you are.
One thing people overlook is how the masters have failed more than any "loser" has ever tried.

The easiest way to look at this: When you're confronted with the thing you reason you should do and the thing you want to do, do the former. You will be better for it most of the times.
