<p>Dear readers, when the voices in your head say, &#8220;Look, people don&#8217;t care enough to do what you are dreaming. And even if they did care enough, they aren&#8217;t willing to do the hard work to change&#8221;, the temptation to quit becomes exceedingly appealing.</p>

<p>Who am I to think society is even <span style="text-decoration: underline;">remotely</span> interested in changing, let alone <span style="text-decoration: underline;">seriously</span> interested?
