Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/better-humans/iron-discipline-these-7-steps-can-help-you-accomplish-your-goals-5e8c7a587274 Quotes to ponder: "You have to be willing to embrace everything about it that might, and likely will, be uncomfortable." "A schedule means you are to do the work on a given day, not because you feel like it, but because you are honoring your commitment to yourself." "Knowing that you can push through discomfort for some higher cause is a priceless gift that only you can give to yourself."
