you can run your life. @christijolson
Going back to the original question…
21. “You pile up enough tomorrows, and you’ll find
you are left with nothing but a lot of empty
yesterdays.”

Notes de l'éditeur
If you have a dream, don’t wait to start until you have more time. You’ll never have more time than you’ve got right now.
"The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it.If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an Ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
By taking tiny steps and making regular progress, you’ll look back in a month or a year and realize how much momentum you’ve actually built up by taking one small action every day.This collection of small goals, all completed in the direction of one great big goal, helps you to create an incredibly powerful snowball effect... They may feel insignificant to do one at a time — after all, what can one little tweet do? — but taking action is better than taking no action.
