Marcus told himself that when he was knocked off course, he could simply return to his principles, again and again, no matter how many times he strayed. There's no quota of fresh starts. If the morning went badly, the afternoon doesn't have to. If you snapped, or scrolled away an hour, or fell short of what you meant to be, you don't have to write off the whole day. You can begin again right now, this minute, without the weight of every earlier stumble. Starting over isn't failure; it's the most ordinary and forgiving thing a person can do. The next moment is always a clean place to set your feet.

Inspired by the old idea of return to your principles again and again. Written by Ugo Charles.
