It's just life. You have to be able to get up, face your flaws, and just, whatever it is, a step, an inch, you just got to keep moving forward.
Interpretation
Life involves facing challenges and flaws while continually progressing.
This quote emphasizes the importance of resilience and perseverance in life. It acknowledges that everyone has flaws and obstacles to confront, but the key to moving forward is taking small steps towards improvement, rather than feeling overwhelmed by the challenges we face. Instead of getting stuck, we should focus on making progress, no matter how incremental.

The greatest sin is to do nothing because you can only do a little.
Anytime you write something, you go through so many phases. You go through the 'I'm a Fraud' phase. You go through the 'I'll Never Finish' phase. And every once in a while you think, 'What if I actually have created what I set out to create, and it's received as such?'
I say 'try'; if we never try, we shall never succeed.
Stop managing your time. Start managing your focus.
