Discipline for discipline’s sake (or toughness for toughness’s sake), is a stupid, counterproductive religion. Β People need the right mix of internal qualities that allow themΒ to get the job done, and also allow them to navigate theirΒ cravings. Β The emphasis on ANYΒ internal quality should be on task accomplishmentΒ and living a fulfilling existence; [discipline/toughness/etc.] shouldn’t turn into sick displays that illustrate how much better one person isΒ than another.

    1. Me too. I find for guys like us, the peril is in being attached to old routines without examining them. And not letting off steam and turning into a crazy person, haha!

  4. I think I am a hybrid there are things that are important to me and being disciplined is not work, its second nature there. Other stuff, I am day dreamer, moody, don’t you have days when you want to just partake in everyday-day-domino-effect, sometimes the greatest joy is… ‘let see what happens’ πŸ™‚ I don’t know if that’s normal though πŸ˜€

    1. I try and cut away stuff that’s not important to the things I love. I’ve seen too many people fade throughout their lives, always saying they’ll get to it tomorrow.
