It’s been said that we must all suffer from one of two pains:
The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
The attainment of life’s virtues is only achievable through discipline.
—It takes discipline to stick to the health plan when others are eating whatever they want.
—It takes discipline to go to the gym, or take that early morning walk, while others are sleeping in.
—It takes discipline to delay gratification and put your financial future first, while others spend for the moment.
—It takes effort and discipline to build a good relationship, rather than running on autopilot.
—It takes discipline to read the books and get the wisdom rather than scroll your phone.
So choose the path that may feel hard today,
but leads to strength, clarity, and peace tomorrow.
Because while the pain of discipline weighs ounces,
The pain of regret weighs tons.
