Top Moments
If you want to know why things are the way they are in your life right now, your discipline got you there. If you want to know how things are going to go for you in the future, your discipline will take you
there.
Discipline Determines Your Actions, Influencing Your Future
To the stoic, procrastination almost looks like a form of delusion and entitlement. Who is to say you'll even be around next month or next week to deal with it? If it's important, they say, don't wait; do it
now.
To the Stoics, Procrastination Is a Form of Delusion & Entitlement
When we say that discipline is destiny, this is what we mean—that discipline is both predictive and deterministic; it pre-determined that Marcus [Aurelius] would not only be a great emperor but a great man,
too.
Discipline Determined Marcus Aurelius' Destiny as a Great Emperor
'Most powerful is he,' Seneca said, 'who has himself in his own power. Most powerful is he who is disciplined, because discipline is
destiny.'
Discipline Determines Your Actions, Influencing Your Future
I really like this frame of reference—thinking about procrastination as a form of arrogance. Who says you'll be around to get to it tomorrow? Who says you can afford to put it
off?
When Writing, Ryan Thinks of Procrastination as a Form of Arrogance
