The Incredibles

Marathon runners hit a "wall" of fatigue halfway through the race. If, however, they can grit their teeth and smash through that wall, they can find resources of energy to carry them for the whole grueling 26miles/42.2km distance.

In life, i.e. learning Japanese, is like running a mental marathon; bumping up against not one wall, but an endless succession of walls! You get through Hiragana to find Katagana waiting for you... After which Kanji try to tongue twist you and Grammar Forms tower atop formidably.

Be bold and courageous!
He who faces the giants and bowl them over are the Incredibles.

What do I want?

Temporal happiness cannot solve the state of being, i.e. confused & easily vexed, which is affected by success or failure of goal achievements, especially if one is just flowing along.

I can't Go On, I'll Go On

"Nothing really belongs to us but time, which even he
who has nothing else."

- Baltasar Gracian, Spanish Jesuit philosopher

You must go on.

Procastinate

How to move away from such murky situation:

"We accept the verdict of the past until the need for change
cries out loudly enough to force upon us
a choice between the comforts of further inertia and
the irksomeness of action."
-Learned Hand, 20th century American jurist

With laying-out-of-options & sheer WILLPOWER.

Fantasies

When can fantasies become realities?
Ridiculous coincidences in dramas make reality more precious.
Till reality is purposefully lived out, having like-minded flock together to enjoy fantasies, is simply infatuating in meaningless happiness.
