[Reflection & Analysis] Language Is a Tool

Language is a tool.

We use tools to build.

However, some tools break.

Some tools aren’t right for the job.

Sometimes, no matter how many powerful tools you have on hand, the task is simply too great.

Sure, I have a hammer and some screwdrivers at home, but I can’t build a skyscraper with them.

The thing that keeps me going is knowing that, even if the project of living is incredibly big—and the plans I laid aren’t working out—it’s always still possible to reach my goals with the right tools.

The things inside you can be said.

The things inside you can be written.

You just need to keep moving forward.

Use new tools.

Draw up new plans.

Make a new commitment to do the work.
