What I would say is that vows and rings don't change anything: the challenges are the same. Every day is just a conscious commitment to making the next day better. ↗

There is no scientific discoverer, no poet, no painter, no musician, who will not tell you that he found ready made his discovery or poem or picture - that it came to him from outside, and that he did not consciously create it from within. ↗
