The main reason people stop when they’re struggling isn’t because they’re struggling
It’s because they don’t know that struggling is appropriate
It’s because they don’t know they’re exactly where they should be
It’s because they don’t know everybody struggles at this point

The best compliment I’ve ever received was when I went all out for my wife’s birthday
