A must-read book on Self-Control & Discipline

One of the best qualities to have in ourselves is self-control and discipline.

Today’s must-read book is “Discipline Is Destiny” It’s about how to build self-discipline, written by one of my favorite authors Ryan Holiday.

Discipline Is Destiny by Ryan Holiday

Practical Lessons from this book to implement in your life.

1) Embrace Delayed Gratification.
Practice delaying immediate gratification in favor of long-term goals and benefits. Develop the ability to withstand short-term discomfort or sacrifice for the sake of greater rewards in the future.

2) Cultivate Consistent Habits.
Establish daily routines and habits that support your goals and values. Consistently practicing positive habits reinforces self-control and discipline over time, leading to sustainable success.

3) Learn from Setbacks and Failures.
View setbacks and failures as opportunities for growth and self-improvement rather than reasons to give up. Analyze what went wrong, adjust your approach as necessary, and use setbacks as motivation to persevere with even greater determination.

4) Focus on Process over Outcome.
Shift your focus from solely pursuing external outcomes to mastering the process and behaviors required for success. By concentrating on the controllable aspects of your journey, such as effort, discipline, and resilience, you can maintain motivation and momentum regardless of external circumstances.

Today’s wisdom

“The faker you are, the bigger your circle will be. The real you are, the smaller your circle will be.”

Humans are attracted to those people who pretend to be something else; they are not real, they just fake themselves so that they can attract a certain audience. Sooner or later their other faces will be revealed.

People who are “Real” to others are not surrounded by many people. They will have a small circle but their quality of thoughts and energy will be greater.
