The difference between being successful and unsuccessful is the intensity of effort that you put in.

Nobody will ever give you any grades for your level of self- discipline. There is no finish line and there’s no podium for the winners the only purpose of building self-discipline is to conquer yourself -your urges, your weaknesses, and your self-sabotaging behaviors. Its easy to forget this fact and assume that when you reach your goals you’re done. The moment you make your dreams come true isn’t the most important. It’s important, no doubt, but without the process leading to it, in itself it means little.

The most important moments are the moments of struggle when you’re striving to fight even when you can barely stand and the whole world is spinning around you. It’s this very act that proves your mettle and showers you with life- encompassing benefits, not the act of winning in itself. Whenever you find yourself frustrated that you’re still a long way from the finish line, remember that it’s right now, at this very moment, that you’re collecting the biggest rewards. It’s the struggle in itself that improves you and makes you a more successful person.

The important thing in the Olympic games is not to win, but to take part; the important thing in life does not to triumph, but the struggle; the the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
-Pierre de Coubertin

The devil is in the details

It was at the end of the storm,
When the night began to take form,
That the clouds cleared up,
And the stars showed up.

When the rain descended,
And the rainbow came and ended...
