1 if you have decided to form a daily habit be it anything exercise etc. If you admonish yourself for missing a day. What you are really telling yourself is that you have lost the habit. It is difficult to get back on track. If instead you tell yourself you got a break and your precious habit is with you. Then on next day instead you are extra motivated to protect your precious habit.  2 it is not possible to please everyone as everyone has so different point of view. What action may look good to one,  may look bad to others. Everyone has different level of understanding of facts of situation.  You cannot explain everything to everyone.  Most people just want to judge not understand.   In such a situation,  all it matters is your conscience.  We must strive to understand all facts and given the facts have a clean conscience of our own.

I wonder if role of political leadership is not to guide and uplift us. But to nudge people to  look other way or do useless peaceful protests ,  while the powerful people keep looting and denying basic rights to population.  Mahatma Gandhi had big role in uniting India against British. Indian people across British India and hundreds of princely states, considered him as their leader. And as per his command, we used to mass useless protests every decade.  At peak of second world war in 1942-43, British nearly stood defeated by the Nazis.  Instead driving British out of India, another useless non cooperation movement was organized. If he was such a danger to British empire, then why he was released again and again from jail.
