The good thing is you took action. That's the difference between those that win and those that don't. Getting an early start to the day is also something I read about. It said that most successful people start their day early.
It's not that you're going to succeed, you've already chosen the right fork in the road. All the crap you had to put up provided you with the tools to make the right choices. We're rooting for you, Bro!
