cut yourself some slack

i had a todo list of tasks i was going to accomplish today, by 5pm i had completed nothing.

Now it’s not like i was slacking off, they were just tedious and time consuming tasks, as i’m writing this i’ve completed one and before bed i’ll complete two more.

where am i heading to with this?

sometimes you set goals or benchmarks for yourself and when you don’t achieve them you’re hard on yourself, thinking you’re not good enough or you should’ve done more.

but shit happens, and you must accept it.

things don’t work out, you’re not going to stand there sulking about it are you? nah, you get back up and you try again.

i’ll probably carryover the task to tomorrow.

there’s a limit to what you can take, mentally and physically.

at your early ages you’re supposed to test that limit, but don’t overclock it.

locking in is important but so is your sanity.

you might read this and find an excuse to slack off but just remember, you’re not doing this for me, but for yourself.

you’re the only one with a vested interest in improving yourself, i might inspire you but i don’t have a stake in your success.

go hard, but before you go home, cut yourself some slack.
