Once again, wise advice to apply to any scenario.

With depression it can be talked about in 'windows and waves.' The waves are like bumpy patches where you feel like shit, and the windows are when the sea is a glass out. (Then, here comes the wavy bit again).

Yet, one is always proceeding in the correct positive direction.

Proud of you.

Holy shit dude. This is incredibly good news. One thing I've been reflecting on in myself is to reframe discipline. I now think more in terms my present self giving a gift to my future self. It's how I'm slowly getting better with consistency.

I'm really stoked for you Gabriel

I've been riding a tsunami of Stoic challenges but finally appear to be getting a respite as of a couple days ago (almost afraid to tempt the Stoic gods by saying so ;-)

Thanks Liam!

"Arduous and rewarding" is a great summary 😄

What an amazing difference, Gabe! I was just thinking that first digit was about to change to 3. So interesting that you're now trusting the process. I still don't! It seems like such mysticism to me. Odd to say, I know. I'm looking forward to going on that walk with you, virtually for now. Congrats!!!

I think you'd move a lot faster than me IRL, at least for now. 😆
