Lots of Work to Do

I'm always interested in learning

and today I listened to the audiobook by Charlamagne tha God, read by him, about his life. He had a lot of good advice on how to take care of yourself (eat more green things) and work toward your goals (use your time wisely) that I needed to hear. I am still in the ongoing process of learning to believe in myself and raise my self-esteem while also not giving a fuck what people think of me.

Just like writing or drawing, you can do this a little bit at a time, and build on your progressive success, as long as you can just get started. Zenhabits.net has some very profound suggestions for doing that (excerpt): 

1. Take the tiniest step to get started. Any movement at all.
2. Commit yourself to continuing that tiny step every day. Get accountability if you need it, and set up reminders so you don’t forget.
3. Keep taking tiny steps, creating a good feeling about this endeavor and about yourself. This good feeling is a powerful thing.

"tell yourself that life is an uncontrollable river and you just have to flow with it. Instead of wishing the river were a set path, perfectly controlled and manicured, accept that things are constantly changing, never according to plan, and that you just need to adapt."
