Lows

It is when you hit a low point, you have the best opportunity to:

• Introspect and fix errors in ones thought and action via first principles
• Reach the highest possible point.

This is because, when you are at a low, there is no pressure to meet expectations. This takes one out of the glare of attention. No one cares what you do. It is easiest at this point to work on things (e.g. discipline) via first principles. To reach the highest possible point, we need the most acceleration. It is obtained best when you have been gradually increasing it for a long time. Contemplating these (personal) truths always helps me at lows (Not that I am at a low now. Just some random musings).
