Motivation from the sick bed:
Just stole this motivating flow-chart from an article here, which basically says, why limit yourself to not trying the 5.14 route? Just because it's not your grade doesn't mean it's not possible. While I'm not a trad or sport climber (yet), it all still applies. This is what I kinda took when I decided to climb 3 7A's in the next 6 months, or as close as.
Happy Monday!
