Are you just making excuses, or are you being truthful to yourself?

At least try, please.

... And then never give up :).

It's going to be hard, but anyways.

Philippians 3:8
What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ.
