I live to commit to small increments. I will wash dishes for 15 mins. I can keep going if I want to, but even if I quit after 15 mins, I still did what I said I was going to do.

It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: "And this, too, shall pass away." How much it expresses! How chastening in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction!
