The world is a fucking mess. It is full of dragons and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be, and that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawhl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up!

Patrick Rothfuss

Think of those dragons as challenges. Daily challenges like getting up early or being disciplined or long-term challenges like being happy in a personal way or successful in any way. You have to fight those dragons and train yourself in battle!
