I need to freaking tattoo this on my brain.

"...one thing I am pretty certain of: what you perceive as doing all you can is usually not all you can do at all. If you believe you are doing everything in your power to achieve a goal and that goal is perhaps lofty but no way impossible to achieve, then the odds are you are not even scratching the surface. Convenience and the reasoning of having the right to be reasonable should be avoided.

...It is so easy to blame bad genetics, impossible work situations, no money, no time, nothing or everything, unless you have real real REAL reasons why you cannot do exactly what you want to obtain a goal, all that is just excuses for not trying hard enough."
