“The Pain of Discipline is far less than the pain of regret.”
The side effect conundrum…
If you hate exercising and you stop, You will probably have a better day
If you hate saving money, you will most likely have a better day when you spend that money on something that makes you feel better…
If instead of following your diet plan you binge out on sweets and whatever you will most likely feel better…
Feel better In the short run, Until the side effects kick in.
And suddenly the doctors told us we have a heart problem, or we need some money but we spent it all on some crap we don’t need…
Then we wonder ‘If only I dealt with the side effects of a little discipline’
When it all could have been avoided by going through an hour a day of discomfort, 10-20% of your wages stashed away… Whatever it is…
Put up with the short term side effects of discipline
Or live with the long term effects of being undisciplined
