One of life’s genuine cheat codes is discipline.

Whether you want to succeed in business, athletics, the arts, or life in general, discipline is the key to getting there.

Enthusiasm wanes. Willpower has a limit. Good intentions can only go so far.

The capacity to prioritize what you desire most over what you want right now is discipline.

Your every act is a vote for the person you want to be.

You perceive yourself as a more disciplined person every time you put off immediate enjoyment, making it simpler to act that way in the future.

We are taught to compete against one another in school, politics, athletics, and video games.

Yet, wealth, education, love, fitness, and tranquility are genuine benefits of not paying attention to others and developing ourselves.

Each moment is either a test or a celebration. Don’t defer celebrating. Give yourself rewards to acknowledge
progress.
