‘Man conquers the world by conquering himself’ — Zeno of Citium

It takes self-discipline to achieve anything worthwhile in life and to build a mindset of self-discipline starts by saying NO.

It’s saying NO to temptation when it presents itself. Saying NO to letting yourself down — again.

It’s saying NO to being weak and NO to failing at yet another one of your personal goals.

It’s saying NO to giving up so easily on yourself and saying NO to living a mediocre existence.

It’s saying NO to falling back into those lazy, unhealthy, soul-destroying habits.

It’s only once you’ve gotten used to saying NO will you begin to see any real positive progression towards building the life of your dreams.

Thanks for reading 👊.
