We're all born with the power of discipline

It's a muscle that you build or allow to wither away

- Strong discipline = High quality life
- Weak discipline = Low quality life

So, if you're reading this, you CAN be disciplined, you just need to start working out that muscle
Self control is the backbone of discipline

It's the ability to exert conscious will over your automatic habits

It's looking at yourself in the mirror, after years of f*cking up, and you say to yourself "I'm not doing this anymore" and you DO something different
I come to you today as proof of someone who has changed their life around

6 years ago:
- 275lbs
- Insecure
- Social Anxiety
- Anger issues
- Failed out of school
- Panic attacks

Today:
- 185lbs
- Socially confident
- 3.9 GPA
- Overcame anxiety
- In control
- Happy
Am I where I want to be completely?

Hell no lol

I'll never be there, because there is no there

I'm always looking towards what's next, where can I improve, How can I become better?

This is a constant journey towards self improvement, while accepting who you are
This Journey requires DISCIPLINE

📖 10 Lessons I learned from the “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius

This was a life changing book for me—maybe it will change you!

Here are some lessons you can learn and implement in your life right now:

Read below 👇🏼
[1/10]

• “It’s silly to try to escape other people’s faults. They are inescapable. Just try to escape your own”

Marcus taught me to forget what other people are doing, saying & how much they criticize you

You have enough on your own plate, focus on being the best you can be.
When you find yourself judging others, stop and consider what faults you might have first

Let them be stubborn
Let them be rude

Don’t respond to their energy. Lead by example and let them see the correct way to live

Remember: the best revenge is to not be like them

Well, you’ll have to read 👇🏼
So, why is it so important to remember your own death?

The professional politicians have done an excellent job of splitting up the issues to keep the citizens fighting with each other so we don’t focus on the fact that they are the problem, not us.
The professional wrestling promoters know that good fighting evil and prompting the audience to be involved in the action will keep people engaged. Our career politicians know it, too.

Without a crisis to engage the public, the career politician is less significant.

#TermLimits
#ManufacturedCrisis are common in politics - They provide another more sinister advantage to the professional politician: misdirection and sleight of hand.

Both sides do it

They do it because there are no #TermLimits

#WeThePeople can put an end to it

Taking Control of Your Life, Part 1, by Vicki Hinze

#Life 101
Tonight the door closes on today. For some, it’s been a good day. For others, the best they can say is soon it will be over. For the majority of us, today was a mix of good and bad.
2/ How we view the day largely depends on how we view its events or what events dominated our thoughts and time (more so than the actual events themselves) and the impact those events had on our lives.

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.

Can you be the reason someone believes in the goodness of people? 🤔 #Discipline
I’m certain we have read that “the person who masters him/herself through self control and discipline is truly undefeatable.” But What then is discipline in simple terms without expending grammar at this time of the night? 🤔
To simply deconstruct from the litany of definitions, it is simply described as ‘self imposed standards for the sake of a higher/greater goal.’ This is why ALL leaders are meant to have self discipline essentially as against other kinds of (external) discipline.

Pay attention to whom your energy increases and decreases around, this is your God-self’s hint of who you should embrace or stray from ⛱ #Discipline
“Be careful little eyes what you see. It is the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings. Be careful little feet where you go. For it is the little feet behind you that are sure to follow. It is a slow thing when you give yourself away.” #Discipline
“It is a slow thing, when black and white turn to grey and dark invade, Choices are made and a price are paid. People never crumble in a day. It is the gradual little choices we make each day that make up the huge decision.” #Discipline

I've been part of the Twitter resistance for a year now. I'm going to share some thoughts about why & how I resist.

Some people may not like some things I say here. I’m sorry for that, but they need to be said. 1 #WhyIResist #HowIResist #RebelScum #TheResistance
Some things in the first year were fun: meeting like-minded people, the #scifi characters, learning how to take effective action. Celebrating #victories like beating the #ACA repeal bills.

A lot of it wasn't fun - the threats of nuclear war, the daily stress of bad news. 2
Follow parties were fun, and a good way to promote a message and raise awareness, connect with other resistors and grow our followings. They had themes and served a purpose and there was about about one a month.  3 #PartyWithAPurpose #trending #amplify #effective
