The Goal Is a Great Life and I Don't Need to Hit It by Christmas

For me, the goal is a great life. I am 100 % convinced that this outcome will be a reality for me. But at the same point, i don't need to hit it by christmas. And so being able to be brutally honest with your obstacles, but yet confident of the outcome, allows you to outlast. It's a game of attrition. You're going to outlast and this really stood with me, as it's a different type of optimism. It's not a naive optimism. It'm a brutally honest, but still optimistic outlook for the future.
