10 Hard Things We Should All Do for Ourselves More Often
Don't avoid doing these hard things for yourself. Your mind and body both need to be exercised to gain strength, consistently.
Which team succeeded in the end?
The team that took consistent daily action.
Why?
Because what we do EVERY day defines us!
Today’s progress is always compounded by yesterday’s effort, no matter how small.
In most cases, problems like these are not caused not by a physically present limitation, but by a weakness of the mind — specifically, a lack of self-discipline.
We put the hard things off until tomorrow — because the “weather” is bad — until we’ve lost our edge. We grow accustomed to the idea that things should be easier than they are, and that waiting another day or two makes the best sense. Then one day we wake up and we’re emotionally incapable of doing the hard things that must be done — it’s too late.
Remember, many great things can be done in a day if you don’t always make that day tomorrow. Take positive action and plant the right seeds in your life right now. Nature herself does not distinguish between what seeds she receives. She grows whatever seeds are planted. This is the way life works. Be mindful of the seeds you plant today, as they will become the crop you harvest tomorrow.
