Get Off Your Arse: A ran-dumb blog to get you moving, by a bit of a nudge and a bit of a push.

At times giving your best isn’t enough
Don’t let me fool you. It absolutely matters because it meant an immense lot to you. But yet again, it is what it is. Try, because that’s all you can do, yet again. Give it your very best. Learn from your mistakes rather than being in your la-la land.
