It’s Hard
In this morning meditation, I was thinking about one of the great quotes from the great motivational teacher Jim Rohn.
“We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.” ― Jim Rohn
It’s true.
Nothing’s easy.
Getting fit isn’t easy. Raising kids, maintaining a relationship, earning a Blackbelt, building a great business or career, creating a life of fulfillment and that we are proud of…
those are just a few examples from the top of my head.
I’m sure you can think of many others as quickly yourself.
But the moral of Jim Rohn’s little story is that we must design a plan, and then do the daily disciplines to execute that plan consistently, in order to win.
And it’s still not a guarantee of course; there are many factors that combine to create success.
But here’s what is a guarantee.
In the absence of daily Discipline, success is illusive and failure eminent.
We do usually reap what we sow.
Now that’s either great or horrible news, based on past sowing, but here’s the greatest news of all.
Every new day is a gift from God- to start anew.
To sow better, grow better, do and be better that we’ve ever been before.
That’s what I’m going to do.
How about you?
