The reason I fail to achieve a challenging goal or to break an unhealthy habit…

… is not that I am stupid or lazy.

… is not that I am untalented.

… is not that I am a quitter or a procrastinator.

… is not that I lack discipline or will power.

The real reason is lack of something infinitely deeper, higher, and more fundamental: clarity of purpose.

And so, one of my tasks as a human being is to find something to care about…

so much so that I consider it a privilege to suffer for it.
