On Self-discipline

This is my focus lately on self-discipline, and this quotes nails it pretty deep. I've been controlled directly or indirectly by my emotions, other people, and external circumstances, giving into their power and influence over me in many ways that I dont want. Self-discipline is a daily practice of awareness to keep myself in check from other people's bullshit and, more importantly, my own bullshit when I don't want to do the things I need to do. It is taking a strong stance to what I allow to enter my mind and my heart in order to grow.
