Never set the bar so high that you forget to look back and see how far you’ve come. What helps me is keeping a box of achievements: big or small. Whenever I feel low, need the courage to take the next step, I look inside and remind myself of everything I’ve already accomplished.

It's called Write-Ahead Log(WAL).Imagine writing in a notebook. Instead of writing directly in your main journal, you first jot down every change in a scratchpad. Why? If your pen leaks or the page tears, your notes are still safe in the scratchpad. (2/7)
