If you\u2019re trying to learn a new musical instrument, and you can now play that passage that was once difficult yesterday, then huzzah! If you are trying to develop a love interest with someone, and you\u2019ve had a better experience or conversation with them today, than the last time, then congrats! If you\u2019re trying to become a writer, and you write a better sentence today, than you did yesterday, then drinks all around! If you\u2019re trying to be better with your health, and you chose a salad for lunch, over that fast food that you had yesterday, then you get a gold star!
