Self-discipline is key to obtaining anything you want, no matter whether your aims are high or low. Even those who simply desire money must make many personal sacrifices to earn it. Think of how many more sacrifices it takes to develop a resilient, trustworthy, inspiring, fully-rounded character.”

I'd hear myself say things like: I can't do it because so and so are already doing it I'm not good enough I'...
