Personal discipline
Begins now 2 years ago

What is a personal discipline? It is that which it says.

Today is February 24th. To the evening of March 9th is when the time period of this program officially concludes. I am determined.

What is the definition of determination? According to someone’s entry on the www.urbandictionary.com it is the following:

1. determination
5 up, 1 down

Determination is simply not giving up. No matter how hard things get, or how badly you want to just give up, you keep on going. Sometimes you just want to let go, when it seems like what you’re going for is just out of reach, sometimes you tell yourself if what you’re trying to get is worth the great amount of effort that you put in it. When things get hard, you start thinking that its not worth it, and you just want to let it go, but let me tell you this, the more pain and suffering you put into something, the better it’ll feel when you get it.

-Determination is not giving up.
-Determination is not letting go.
-Determination is not “this is not worth it” shit.

-Determination is falling on your face and getting back up.
-Determination is losing feeling on your legs, and wanting to keep on going.

In my words, determination is going until your legs lose feeling, until your arms break, until your head feels like its about to explode, until your brain tells your that your done, and when your brain tells you that your done, you tell it, “Just one more time,” just, one, more, time…

NEVER GIVE UP!-thats all determination is…



stay on the path
Moving 2 years ago

Yes, so I am reminding myself of the importance of self respect. Meaning, when you set out do something that is totally in reach, and you want to do it, you should have the self respect to follow through.

Certainly, if it was something truly difficult it may not be as reasonable. But something on this level should be done with determination.



buy fresh flowers every week
Flowers are beautiful 2 years ago

What livens up a living space more so than flowers? It’s a piece of nature in your living space. Flowers raise one’s spirit. I do intend on buying flowers roughly once a week to brighten up my day.
