📖 QOTW (QUOTE OF THE WEEK)

“Life’s not easy…don’t try and make it that way. It’s not fair, it never was, it isn’t now, it won’t ever be. Do not fall into the entitlement trap of feeling you are a victim, you are not. Get over it and get on with it. And yes, most things are more rewarding when you break a sweat to get ‘em.” — Matthew McConaughey
