I know what I have to do to be successful. I have the resources secured, the time available and the ability to do it. I know that I just have to use will power and that this is where I grit my teeth and grow. But doing it is so cripplingly painful and lonely. How do I grow strong and self reliant?

Not that you need my empathy, but I have a friend I used to talk to about this sort of stuff, and even though he had a lot more willpower than me, knowing that someone else felt the exact same was good, especially since we both set extremely high standards for how we should live our lives, and how important it was for us to bring reality as close as possible to its ideal.
Have some nice jazz:
