The longer pretend to not care, the larger the eventual eruption. 

The more we disguise our feelings and intentions, the more infected the wounds become. 

 

As we hide from those who know us best, we are really only hiding from our own potential. 

If you know what you are building, 

if you believe in what you are building,

and if you understanding why you are building it,

then no task will be mundane, 

no challenge too much, 

and no amount of negativity will stop you from accomplishing your goal. 

Remember how much hope and purpose you felt before you let pride and ego take over your mind and heart?

When someone lets go of universal truth for “personal truth” the justification is often individual freedom, but the real result is captivity and imprisonment by your own external desires and internal pride, selfishness, and ego. 

You don’t have discipline. You don’t find discipline. You do discipline. Discipline is the key to finding success. Discipline isn’t about hard work. Discipline is about doing what needs to be done no matter what our emotions, feelings, body, or brain says to the contrary. 

One sure sign of pride mixed with ego that eventually leads to victimhood, is the false belief that you have the right or even authority to tell people what they can and can’t say. Your only right is to react appropriately, not to condemn, criticize, or restrict before hand. One way is the way of control, the other is the way of agency. Other-Control is always wrong. Self-Control is always right. 

Humility is the opposite of having to be right. A pure heart requires humility.

The things we have to have become our prison. 

The thoughts we don’t control serve as our master. 

The relationships who take but never give limit our growth. 

When you trust someone, you feel they will do what is best for all involved.

When you don’t trust someone, you know they will do what is only in their best interest.
