Discipline Weighs Ounces While Regret Weighs Tons



Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.

The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.

All disciplines affect each other. Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only area where I let down." Not true. Every let down affects the rest. Not to think so is naive.


Discipline is the foundation upon which all success is built.

Lack of discipline inevitably leads to failure.

Discipline has within it the potential for creating future miracles.

The best time to set up a new discipline is when the idea is strong.

One discipline always leads to another discipline.

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

You don't have to change that much for it to make a great deal of difference. A few simple disciplines can have a major impact on how your life works out in the next 90 days, let alone in the next 12 months or the next 3 years.

The least lack of discipline starts to erode our self-esteem.

Seeds of Greatness


This I Believe

I believe in myself.
I believe that all people have the equal right to become all they are willing and able to become.
I believe that I am a good as anyone in the world. Although I may never be on the cover of Time or People magazine – I still have time to be one of the people who makes a really positive difference in the world.
I believe that although I may not be the best looking in the group, I'll always be looking my best in every group!
I believe in this and the next generation, and believe we'll build a better nation.
I believe that good health means more than wealth.
I believe in caring and sharing, rather than comparing.
I believe of all the people I see, still I'd rather be me!
I believe in caring and sharing, rather than comparing.

Do it Anyway...

I came a cross this when my wife, KC came gave me this book. I think it was really because of the nickname they (KC and her girlfriends) used to give me before. You see, I used to keep saying "Anyway"... So when I saw the book and then read the contents, I discovered that it may not have been a coincidence, but rather something that just lined up, the stars, moon and planets...
The poem below, may sound a bit far fetched and to most it may be ridiculous, but when you really think about it, it makes so much sense. Especially in a crazy world we live in. Be it any religion, faith or any belief, I think that the words and sentences in this poem ultimately means to trust your heart and never give up. I hope that it gives you the motivation to follow your heart and to be a force for good in this beautiful world.

The Paradoxical Commandments

Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
