As a human, you're going to live your life, and there will be times when you do things that might not be optimal. However, it's, it's not about being perfect. Perfection is not the goal. The goal is, if you go off the rails, to narrow and shorten the time you spend off the rails, as opposed to saying, I'm off the rails, screw it, I'm just going to stay off the rails for the next 8 months. No, it's like, okay, I went off the rails, forgive, move forward, and get back on in the shortest period of time possible, as opposed to I'm not ever going to go off the rails, because that's, that's like abstinence. That always fails.
