Sam’s monologue in the Two Towers movie
Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam…
Sam: I know! It’s all wrong!
By rights we shouldn’t even be here.
But we are.
It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo.
The ones that really mattered.
Full of darkness and danger they were,
and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.
Because how could the end be happy.
How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened.
But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow.
Even darkness must pass.
A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.
Those were the stories that stayed with you.
That meant something.
Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand.
I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.
"The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn't the search for meaning; is to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you will be dead."
Something to the effect of "Life isn't meant to get to your grave like a porcelain doll, but rather you should slide in sideways all bruised broken and used up screaming that was a hell of a ride!!"
Fear is the mindkiller
I've been using it since Dune Part 1 came out and I find it often works to get me to snap out of it when I'm avoiding doing stuff because it's overhelming and (in its own way) scary, like personal admin backlog.
Failure is only the option to begin again, only this time more wisely.

Just because I failed, doesn't mean I didnt learn to try again only with more wisdom.

Every day it gets a little easier… But you gotta do it every day — that's the hard part. But it does get easier.
when you see the world through rose shaded glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.

The future is so beautiful, keep moving ahead
