SELF-DISCIPLINE,

“the ability to

motivate oneself in

emotional state”

. -- STEVE PAVILINA

IT’S NOT IGNORING REALITY IT’S TRANSCENDING REALITY

• Dialogue, and give and take, get better

results than ramming one’s head against a

wall;

• Every action will have consequences, for

better or worse;

• There is satisfaction in doing something

because it is right and not just because it

is convenient or expedient.

• Hurts, pains and problems are easier to

bear if you look outward and engage

the world, rather than huddle by your

lonesome.
