Self-discipline

Your ability to listen to, and take action, based on your inner voice — regardless of how you feel, other influences, or temptations you face — is the key to self-mastery.

When you increase (or decrease) your discipline in one area, it increases (or decreases) your discipline in all areas that require self-control.

Like a muscle, the more you exercise self-control on a consistent basis, the stronger you get.

Careful, aiming for a life of ease is a path to mediocrity.

Those who achieve greatness in life don't achieve greatness by avoiding challenges, they achieve greatness by developing the strength, attitude, and discipline necessary to overcome them.

And more important than being a finisher simply to be a finisher is knowing what your priorities are in life and whether the actions you're taking are getting you closer to what you desire or pushing you further away.

The truth is, you don’t always get a 2nd chance, let alone a 3rd. But every mistake or failure provides valuable lessons to learn from.

1. Re-think where it went wrong
2. Seek help where you need it, and
3. Take everything you learned from the experience and use it to strategize a new plan for success.

"Never apologize for trusting your intuition - your brain can play tricks, your heart can [be] blind, but your gut is always right."

One’s intuition isn’t some infallible all-knowing source of knowledge. And it definitely isn’t “always right”. One’s gut can lead them into any number of unsafe situations. And some people, such as criminals & con artists, use people’s gut instincts against them. Never let go of your common sense — and especially err on the side of safety when it comes to avoiding dangerous or high-risk situations.

What FBI Profiler, Alisa Bowman, has to say on gut feelings:
