“Is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm?” –Marcus Aurelius
This is the most powerful man in the world trying to convince himself to get out of bed at dawn when the lower part of himself wants desperately to stay.
Comfort is often what discipline must overcome.
Getting comfortable is the enemy, and success is an endless series of invitations to get comfortable.
It’s easy to be disciplined when you have nothing.
What about when you have everything?
What about when you’re so talented that you can get away with not giving everything?
That’s why every time I get:
Entertained. Distracted. Comfortable.
I try hard to get:
Annoyed. Focused. In pain.
(some words inspired from the book Discipline is Destiny)
