become self-disciplined

I’m an engineering student at UT Arlington and i cant seem to get my mind into this semester. I average 60 hours of work for 6 days a week, i’m taking one engineering physics class w/a lab on tues and thurs. from 7pm-10pm, my girlfriend comes over to my apt. just about every night, i spend my fridays and saturday nights jamming with a buddy of mine, and on sundays whatch football with my family. the last thing on my mind at the end of each day is physics.

This is a pretty broad-scoped entry that crosses over into some of the other things I want to accomplish. But from self discipline comes all other things I need. The discipline to lose weight, to be patient with my parents, to be kinder when I’m not inclined to. It’s a many-branched tree that grows from this one seed. So clearly this should be the first thing I attempt to attain.

Self-discipline is when you tell yourself to do something and you don’t talk back. -W. K. Hope
