Ol' Self Control

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."

-Leonardo da Vinci

It took me much longer than it should have to learn that freedom is found in discipline. The days I feel amazing are the days when I’m deliberate and take action on my day, instead of letting my day take action on me.

Yesterday, I had no accomplishment in my day until the very end, right before bed. The mornings when I go at it and take charge, it tends to carry into my day and the choices I make, and I usually feel good at the end of the day. Try to be deliberate in one choice today. Go get that walk in, throw on an audible or podcast, get better in a lot of ways. Sun, exercise, knowledge! Great first start. Take action. Life rewards action. What are you going to do to make your day feel “worth it”?

"The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones."

-Confucius

Song To Digest With

Ol' Self-Control | OurVinyl Sessions- Joshua Quimby

 

Well, I can't seem to find my old friend, self-control
I haven't seen him around, he don't visit no more
He's been gone long enough, I ain't myself anymore
And I'm a-findin' my ass, sat on the livin' room floor
High as a kite, but feelin' lower than before

She's been busting my ass, so damn long, for God's sake
I knew ol' self-control like the back of my hand
He wouldn't let me do nothin', without a well-conceived plan
Now I'm reckless and rusted, and busted and bent
And it feels like I'm crawlin' through dryin' cement
It could be much worse, 'least it ain't too dry yet 

Maybe ol' self-control's just a-takin' a break
He's been bustin' my ass, so damn long for God's sake
But deep down, I'm a-wonderin' how long he's gonna take
Without ol' self-control, well, my whole life's at stake
Without ol' self-control, well, my whole life's at stake
