Deliberate has within it the word liberate. It is freeing. Light. Full of possibilities. Creating freedom, not constriction. Sharpens our thinking. Perseverate has the word sever in it.

Do not admit to being tired, exhausted, depleted. Keep a stiff upper lip. Do more. Sleep less. Success came from sacrifice, […]
