For anyone who needs to be reminded of this today: If you falter in your progress, it's never too late to start again.
From Epictetus:
"In this contest, even if we should falter for a while, no one can prevent us from resuming the fight, nor is it necessary to wait another four years for the next Olympic Games to come around, but as soon as one has recovered and regained oneβs strength, and can muster the same zeal as before, one can enter the fight; and if one should fail again, one can enter once again, and if one should carry off the victory one fine day, it will be as if one had never given in." ("Discourses, Fragments, Handbook (Oxford World's Classics)" by Epictetus, Robin Hard, Christopher Gill -)
Whether we've had a bad hour, day, week, etc, we don't have to wait to learn from our mistakes and start working on ourselves again.
Sending encouragement to anyone who needs it, including myself.
