Morning all.
Raleigh that landscape is kickass!
And you've not been murdered, which meh, pretty good I guess.

That's really intriguing.
I wonder...if I had enough discipline to do karate here at home [even though there isn't much space], would I gain enough self discipline to do something useful for once?
Self discipline is extremely important.
I remember the day I learnt it, I think. Dad taught me to ride a bike by locking me out the house and saying I couldn't come in until I could do it.
Kind of a dick move on his part. I was only little, I thought I'd be outside forever.
Taught me that you can cry and want to give up, but in the end you just have to get on with s**t.
If you want something, you have to work; if you
have to do something, just f*****g get on with it, because you can't count on anyone else to help, or the thing to go away.
I credit the majority of my self-discipline to that and similar incidents. The rest to autism.
There is an immense satisfaction to getting things done, especially if you have to put aside hurt to get there.
I don't think it's a cure for addiction though, in my case. On the contrary, I find it quite addictive.
Hence, I can burn my legs out until I cry doing barre, and still keep going.
The discipline is sweeter for the pain.
