    Refusing to shift to a more effective/honest perspective within the bounds of ethics (I usually see this when someone is wedded to a comfortable ideal) is one of the surest ways to amplify failure and self-deception.

    In my opinion, being brutally honest with yourself allows you to assess yourself/your environment faster, clearer, take the initiative with minimal delay, and ascertain whether your ideals/actions/strategy are effective or ineffective.   There are few weapons as powerful as simply being honest with yourself.

    If weakness bests me, then it’s shown its hand.  I can use what I’ve learned to scheme and plot, and be smarter and more efficient during the next battle.  I’m doing my best when I’m seeking to arm myself through victory, lessons learned, or the desire for vengeance.  If nothing else, I can always take…

    For me, discipline isn’t some great ideal or noble virtue; it’s a simple choice:  I’d rather hone my capabilities and be more of a producer, rather than cater to my cravings and be more of a consumer.  There’s no guilt or self-congratulation involved; I just view it as being honest with myself—I want to do…

    There are two ways for me to be at peace:  when I’m aggressively trying to improve myself, or when I’ve done everything I can think of, and I can leave the rest up to fate.
