Why Do I Yet Try To Resolve Again?

Spokane WA. iphone 12 Pro iColorama app

When I look back on resolutions of improvement and amendment which have year after year been made and broken, either by negligence, forgetfulness, vicious idleness, casual interruption, or morbid infirmity;

when I find that so much of my life has been stolen unprofitably away, and that I can descry by retrospection scarcely a few single days properly and vigorously employed,

why do I yet try to resolve again? I try because reformation is necessary and despair is criminal.

— Samuel Johnson, 1775
