Think of the whole universe of matter and how small your share. Think about the expanse of time and how brief - almost momentary - the part marked for you. Think of the workings of fate and how infinitesimal your role.”
Marcus Aurelius, Meditations, 5.24

Self-importance is
ego’s tool for sabotage.
Avoid it. Always.

Self-doubt is the same.
When we think it’s about us
we’ve already lost.

So, remember this:
It’s only about the work.
See y’all tomorrow.
