“You donâ€™t get better on the days when you feel like going. You get better on the days when you donâ€™t want to go, but you go anyway. If you can overcome the negative energy coming from your tired body or unmotivated mind, you will grow and become better. It wonâ€™t be the best workout you have, you wonâ€™t accomplish as much as what you usually do when you actually feel good, but that doesnâ€™t matter. Growth is a long term game, and the crappy days are more important.”

For him one is not permitted to â€œrenounce his personality,â€ and while he states living as a duty, it also conveys a kind of freedom: we are not burdened with the obligation of judging whether our personality is worth maintaining, whether our life is worth living. Because living it is a duty, we are performing a good moral act just by persevering.”
