But in all seriousness, I find there's a particular mindset I can develop where I'm the best possible version of me and I just keep being that for the sake of it - well, at least in theory. I don't know why I can't get myself there but I do know it's within my powers. It's like anything else you do in life except this is supposed to be constant and universal. You push past the difficulty and you keep going... Forever.

I'd like to get the motivation to get in that place, mentally. The rest will follow.
