Let me ask you something, if someone is getting their life on track in a serious and extremely effective manner, do you think it matters to that person if they started succeeding in most endeavors at 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, 5/6 of the year 2009? Do you think it matters?
Do you understand why it's always good to hear about getting your life on track, but the pointing out of it being 1/2 of 2009 might seem arbitrary and unnecessary to some people?
Just a suggestion that looking at things like "Well, it's been 1/2 of the year. I NEED to get my shit together." isn't as effective as constantly needing to have your life together no matter what point in a year it is. It's good that at least you have some point where enough is enough (1 half of a year), but if you looked at thing like "FUCK. 1/4 of 2009 has passed, no way am I going to let things get worse." You'd be better off. If that point was 1/8th, you'd be even better off! And so on and so on. Imagine if you were in a mindset that one bad day was too much and worked to make the other 364 better than one day. Imagine someone motivated enough to go "SHIIIIIIIT! 1/365 of 2009 has been lackluster so far. I was only moderately successful. I am going to make sure that the other 364/365 days are awesome!"
That's how you make the best use of your time son. A year shouldn't be chopped up in two parts just so you can let one part pass you by with little concern. "Oh, well one half is gone, too bad. I'll try to make the other half good." That's not a smart plan.
Just saying.
