99 percent of people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true the marines
have a saying everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die the center of bringing
any dream into fruition is self-discipline you know something as simple as food and eating
it's not about your body as much as it is about your mind it's getting command of your mind to
be able to choose actions that are in your own best interest every day we're choosing stuff
that's not in our own best interests and i think the word discipline has kind of gotten a bad name
we think about it in terms of punishment i'm not talking about discipline in that way
i'm talking about discipline in the sense that you forego immediate pleasure for the
exchange of long-term self-respect i believe that self-discipline is the definition of self-love
when you say you love yourself that means that you have behavior towards yourself
that is loving self-discipline is the center of all material success you cannot win the war
against the world if you can't win the war against your own mind self-discipline is the self-love
if you want to be happy you have to love yourself which means you have to discipline your behavior
the road to sustained happiness is through disciplining your behavior
we tend to base our self-esteem on what other people think and that's not really self-esteem
self-esteem is supposed to be how we feel about ourselves and i know how dangerous it
is to allow other people to determine how you're going to feel about you it's like looking into
a broken mirror and then change your face to try to look good in this defiled broken mirror
it doesn't matter whose fault it is that something is broken if it's your responsibility to fix it
it's not somebody's fault if their father was an abusive alcoholic but it's their responsibility to
figure out how they're gonna deal with those traumas and try to make your life out of it
it's not your fault if your partner cheated and ruined your marriage but it is your responsibility
to figure out how to take that pain and how to overcome that and build a happy life for yourself
fault and responsibility don't go together
when something is somebody's fault we want them to suffer we want them punished we want them to pay
we want it to be their responsibility to fix it but that's not how it works especially when it's
your heart your heart your life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone
as long as we're pointing the finger and sucking whose fault something is
we're jammed and trapped into victim mode when you're in victim mode you're stuck in suffering
the road to power is in taking responsibility
your heart your life your happiness is your responsibility and your responsibility alone
you
