Those who succeed have mountains of failure behind them. Hardly anyone makes it to where they are without hardship. No success, whether it be huge or just saving up to buy fuel and groceries, comes without sacrifice. Whatever you’re struggling with, don’t quit. Pivot if you need to.

2 updates on projects: That new invention idea I’ve been working on quietly in the background, the one with the headphones, has failed yet again. I’m pretty sure my theory is sound, I just need …
