Aim for perfection - donāt expect it off the get go. Perfection is a staircase. You will get there, or at least as close as u can, but you have to start somewhere. One chapter, one workout, one friend youāre consistent texting⦠then you go from there. Not everything has to be fixed at once
The only guaranteed time is now and what you do with it

Switching up your planāyour study plan, your timeline, your anythingāis perfectly fine. But donāt use that as an excuse to not stick the landing
