Self-Discipline

“Train the body

but guard the mind

master emotion

and walk toward fear

pain will shape you

and discipline will free you

when excuses die

and focus remains

nothing can collapse

a mind

that has chosen

to rise

motivation is unreliable

because it depends on feeling

discipline is reliable

because it depends on decision

when you stop waiting

to feel ready

and act anyway

you step …

into freedom”

– Bruce Lee
