    There is nothing simple about “keep doing it every day”. There are so many reasons not to and it’s up to you and you alone to find the reason or the will to “keep doing it every day.”

    In my experience, waiting for the carrot on the stick is much more likely to result in the whip

      I completely agree with what you mean, but I would argue it is actually quite simple just not easy. People often talk about the two like they’re the same but it’s important to remember that at times simple things can be quite hard and complicated things may still be easy.

        From a far enough view point anything can be “simple”. Anyone who has ever had to design, build, or program something for a client can tell you that what is “simple” in concept can be very complex to execute.

        Life happens to everyone and finding ways to fit in “doing the thing every day” can become a very complex problem.

          Fair enough, like most matters of language I suppose it’s ultimately subjective and comes down to differences in personal interpretations. Specific context and perspectives will always have the potential change things but by and large I stand by my point in general application.
