SELF DISCIPLINE

lately i've been thinking a lot about self discipline.

every successful person i admire has loads of it,

anytime i've done something i'm proud of it's because of it.

the good news is, i can be just as self disciplined as i want to be.

the bad news is, it's really hard. 

when it comes to meeting my goals at work

or going the speed limit when i'm running late -

it's no big deal. i'm as disciplined as disciplined can be. 

but when it comes to going to the gym more than once a week,

choosing a salad over an order of large fries,

cutting down on my diet coke intake,

or cleaning the blinds instead of watching yet another episode

of how i met your mother,

i'm not so great.

why are some things so much harder?
