There are whole swaths of reality I would be less aware of if it weren't for my little sister. I'm grateful.

The intrinsic value of things definitely provides a much more sustainable source of motivation. But your comment makes me wonder, how can our encouragement of others help them focus on the intrinsic value of things?

Thank you for visiting. Keep up the good work!

Is your achievement all about the "outside recognition" or is it more of a personal goal achievement!? For me, when it is truly personal, the joy and the meaning comes in the personal aspect of it and not the public hooplah!

Life is a process, and sometimes we can't guarantee the outcome, but the process is still valuable because life is valuable. Persevere, and all the best to you!

There are other goals such as missionary work, and a career in music but I am mostly trying accomplish my goal in getting healthy. The time to start working on it is now. Fear holds me back, I often get afraid that it's too hard or I can't do it. But there is an even greater fear of not accomplishing it that makes me determined. Needless to stay, I need better determination that is not just driven by fear. I guess you could say I am determined to get better at determination.
