"anything worth doing is worth doing halfway".
i oft recite this when I'm depressed and stuck staring blankly at a screen because i can't do anything to completion, or push like I could when I was younger.
this has fundamentally changed how I work, with my newly acquired feelings in my 30s, I'm actually capable of functioning again. I know what my peek looks like, I know the crazy shit I've pulled off, and the perfection I've striven for. That's not every day, and that's OK.
