Discipline Equals Freedom

Because you can’t control other people. You can’t make them what you want them to be. You can’t make them who you want them to be.

The only person you can control is you.

So focus on making yourself who

you want you to be:

No more waiting for the perfect moment

Let us live to honor them.

When things are going bad: Don’t get all bummed out, don’t get startled, don’t get frustrated. No. Just look at the issue and say: “Good.”

Didn’t get the job you wanted? Good. Go out, gain more experience, and build a better resume.

Hesitation defeats us. So we must defeat it.

To win, all you have to do is overcome that moment: The Waiting. The Hesitation. And to do that, all you have to do is: Go. Move. Take the action. Get out of bed. Get your feet on the ground. Step forward.

Do not hesitate.

Do not wait.

Go forward: And win.

The people who are successful decide they are going to be successful. They make that choice.

And they make other choices. They decide to study hard. They decide to work hard. They decide to be the first person to get to work and the last to go home. They decide they are going to take on the hard jobs. Take on the challenges. They decide they are going to lead when no one else will.

FIGHT

Go down swinging. And I’ll tell you: If you fight with all you have, more often than not, you won’t go down at all. You will win.

But you have to make that attitude a part of your everyday life.

Do the extra repetition.

Run the extra mile.

Go the extra round.

Make the right choices.

Give the full measure.

Make yourself stronger, mentally and physically.

Stand and fight.

Fight against weakness. Against fear. Against time and against decay.

Question yourself every day.

Ask yourself:

Who am I? What have I learned? What have I created? What forward progress have I made? Who have I helped?

What am I doing to improve myself—today?

To get better, faster, stronger, healthier, smarter?

Use the stress to make you a better you.
