Less than a minute 85 words 1 view

 

If you don’t learn to control your emotions, someone else will. If you don’t set your standards, someone else will lower them. Discipline is painful because it puts you in charge of the one person you’ve avoided leading: yourself. It demands that you parent your own impulses, coach your own mind, and keep your own promises. That level of self-mastery is rare. But without it, the world will shape you into something far smaller than you were ever meant to be.
