The New You continued
The quality and content of a person’s lives are determined by their own thoughts. If they believe that they never get anywhere, they won’t. If they see that they don’t have a purpose, they will not discover it. Those people who have a life they desire are the ones who have successfully internalized that such a life is possible.
A discipline is something that someone does every day, without expecting a result in return. It can be anything: exercise, meditation, or writing. Select something constructive and do it each day. The learning and growth occurs when you are able to maintain your discipline whether or not you feel like it. “If a person can look up they can get up.”(10) Time is getting short. So start looking up.
