During the past couple of months, there have been days where I felt that I was farther behind at the end of the day compared to the beginning of the day. You spend the day hitting a wall after a wall (a hypothetical wall, not a real brick one) leaving you exhausted and at a loss to rationalize where the day went.
On those days, I like to pull out a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson to help put things in perspective. I hope it helps you as much as it helps me.
"Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on yesterday."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
