The golden thread of a highly successful and meaningful life is self-discipline. Without self-discipline, you cannot set clear goals, manage your time effectively, treat people well, persist through the tough times, care for your health or think positive thoughts. The habit of self-discipline “Tough Love” because getting tough with yourself is actually a loving gesture. By being stricter with yourself, you will begin to live life more deliberately, on your own terms rather than simply reacting to life.
The quality of your life ultimately is shaped by the quality of your choices and decisions, ones that range from the career you choose to pursue to the books you read, the time that you wake up every morning and the thoughts you think during the hours of your days.
Whatever we learn to do, we learn by actually doing it.
