THAT’S BULLSHIT #2
“You want to get to the point in your life when all
these things that you're supposed to do that you
don't do everyday bother you they haunt you, they
eat away at you throughout the day.
If you miss something you said you'd do and if you
think "you know, what it's not a bit deal, I'll do it
tomorrow" you're not there yet..”
—David Goggins
