Everything is always a struggle. And in light of that truth, the truth that the path ahead is murky and overgrown at BEST, your mindset and your intention are likely more important than the choices you make moment to moment.

None of us is perfect. The goal should be to be great in act 60 % or more of the time.

Not as a contest among mortals, but as extreme ownership mutually shared among divine beings.
