yogurtlord07 's Key Ideas from Discipline Is Destiny
by Ryan Holiday

"The pleasure of excess is always fleeting. That's why self-discipline isn't about rejecting pleasure, but rather a way of embracing it. Taking care of the body, moderating desires, working hard, exercising, and pushing oneself are not punishments. They are simply work, the reward of wich is pleaseure." - Ryan Holiday

"Let nothing accumulate on top of anything else. Let nothing be there by chance. Let nothing obstruct the way and let nothing slow down anything or anyone. Imagine what you could achieve if you had the discipline to star by organizing everything. " - Ryan Holiday

"Literally. You can't be great without the self-discipline to achive it. One thing a day adds up. Every day adds up. But the numbers only matter if they accumulate in large numbers." - Ryan Holiday

"We all think we've move beyond it, of course. We have something more important to think about. We want something more exciting to do. Less basic, less fundamental. We want to challenge ourselves, not waste time checking a list, stretching before workout, and reading instructions instead of driving into the task. But the truth is, we can only tackle the big problem if we first handle the small things well." - Ryan Holiday

"The pleasure of flowing. The rhythm of second nature. The calm of knowing that, thanks to practice, you'll know what to do when needed... and also the pride and confidence in doing it." - Ryan holiday

"Without work, we don't get anywhere in this life. But we can reach a magical place if we do work that doesn't even feel like work." - Ryan Holiday
