When It Matters Most

I once had a roommate whom I remember little of, except this one sentence he said: “The days when you least feel like exercising are the ones when you need it the most.” Your art, work, or family traditions — whatever is important to you — is the same.

On some days, all you’ll have the time or wits for is to write one sentence. Those are the days when it matters most.

Life is not about winning or even finishing. It is about showing up.
