Rampant Intellectualism

Discipline is uncomfortable. It’s even harder when you realise how far you’ve let yourself go and how much work is required for you to transform yourself into someone you can be proud of again. I say the word ‘again’ loosely because some of us have never felt the true bliss attached to experiencing a harmonious life, where everything just falls into place, and there’s nothing that needs fixing. This may seem like an unachievable dream to some, but for those who’ve made it to the other side, you know that the pain of discipline is worth every pinch if it means you get to become the architect of your life and create an existence that you feel safe in. Discipline is the greatest gift you can give to yourself. It’s embodied in security, purpose, and peace of mind. It’s not a form of punishment.
