When you feel lost, remember how strong you are. When you don’t know where to start changing, just do every little thing around you well; when you don’t know how to begin, just do the closest thing to you well. Accumulate small successes, and slowly but surely, one day you will see your own transformation. As mentioned before: there are many ways to combat a mediocre life. Some resort to drugs, some to various forms of entertainment, and some turn to reading classic books.
