If anybody needs some encouragement, I'll give you a motto.
"Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude to complete my objectives and follow through with my mission, though I be the lone survivor."
Even if you are on your last legs, you dont run away from your mission. And we all have one, even if you say you don't. Whether its to workout everyday or do better in school. Get a fuck ton of money, get that dream job, better love life, whatever the hell it is. Find a mission everyday. Dont wait to be told it, find it and reach it, regardless of the casualties. Who or what you lose along the way is sad, yes, but such is life. So dope your scope, I'll spot for you. No matter how far your target is, I can promise when you feel that trigger against your finger, everything will fade away. Casualties are expected in war. Get a birds eye view. Recon is important in any situation in life, so start getting information. Find your weaknesses, turn them into strengths. Do your research on those around you. Keep your hand to your chest and don't talk at the table. Bluff if you have nothing, and learn to get damn good at it. Have confidence in your movements. Even if its fucked up beyond all repair, plan accordingly for this. When you walk into any moment in life, think "How can this go the worst way possible". Keep optimism in your heart, but be pessimistic in planning. Never expect things to go smooth. It never will. But should you hit bust, the plan fails, and you are alone, then I'll give you some raw and real advice. The kind no psychiatrist, parent, sibling, or TED talk mf will give you:
