Discipline
It is so simple, yet so hard.
The more comfortable we become, the harder it seems to stay disciplined. The modern world is full of distractions that make us fail at discipline. Sometimes it feels like they are made for exactly this purpose: to distract us from being disciplined, to distract us from doing something meaningful.
As I wrote a couple of posts ago, we live in a world where everything seems to be within reach of our hands. But the more I think about it, the more it feels like what truly matters is hiding deeper. Meaningful things require persistence. They require discipline.
Meaningful things are most often not the ones we can reach easily. They are the ones we work hard for. The ones we achieve with blood, sweat, and tears.
It is not a nice feeling when we think about the road we have to walk to achieve truly amazing things. But the view at the end of that road is often the most stunning one.
And how do we walk the toughest road?
By taking the same step over and over again.
That is discipline.
To not stop. To persist. To strive for something more.
Stay awesome!
