I didn’t mean to complain or anything in my last post. I meant to convey the everyday necessity for discipline. Yeah these thoughts come at varying degree but there is no reason to give into them or legitimize them. Every one can exhibit self control.
Take, for example, standing on a train platform. You’re standing there with a wide gap in front of you where the train tracks are. It’s tempting to start thinking about jumping in, especially when the train is coming. I don’t know about you but I always think about suicide when I wait for a train. But would I actually give in and end my life?…uh…no!
Think of these petty thoughts, these lame excuses, these guilt trips as doorways into a self-deprecating, unfulfilling, future. Chase them away! Or reign them in and make them work for you. Above all, don’t let them control you. That’s when you sink into the train tracks.
