Discipline.
Discipline should not be treated as a one-off of the mind that comes and goes, but should be treated as a mastery that must be trained. True self-discipline must be nurtured and fueled in practice and training through development over time.
When one lives in a universe that can bend to one's every will and thought, then the only true strength is strength over one's self, nothing else.
One line
" Eyes on the Prize". and following a time table.
I seriously used to freak out missing things/routines even by 30mins.
The 40 day meditation as it says " You have proved to yourself you can stick to things( maybe this is what was written" ).I kind of see it like the big brother Cobra just keeping his hand on my shoulder and saying I have done good.
I once had an army friend in my 6th grade(lol) who had great abs and muscles etc. Behind a kid I asked him for advice - and he was like just 20 crunches( situps ) and push ups everyday.
I genuienly asked him how is that possible me being able to do that easily .
He reapeated again "consistently".
Still cant stick to doing 20 everyday even after so many years xD
Either its 200 or 0. xD
There was a quote I read somewhere- " people severly under-estimate what they and do in a year and over estimate what they can do in a day". Reading this for the first time just hit me so hard it was tough to explain.
Also what sepeartes strong from the weak are knowing your priorities and what you want/expect from yourself and cutting out all the other crap.
There are people winning lotteries, people dying , scammers etc. lots of things going on in this world. Does it concern me? Maybe if I keep reading about them and or going through 4billion insta stories a day like a normal person just to do nothing and feel shitty about my life. Priorities and the reason behind having those priorities.
But then again strong and weak is a very general term. The people considered " weak" maybe strong in other aspects of life we know nothing about. Everything requires interest and the understanding of basics of how the thing works.
At the end of the day it is you who decides if you are strong or not. Are we supposed to consider the political leaders strong/intelligent? The ones dumb enough to party in this time? Well for normal people who judge everything by money , they are very powerful. But to us? Not so much in terms of common sense and reading about covid.
I do have a high air element and forget to sleep , eat , etc till I dont get done what I have decided as goals for myself. Still for the general public may not be strong considering what their values are.
GiTM i kind of not agree with realising the potential, as their is immense opportunity of growth ." No Limitations in Satanism". Everything is impossible till it is done by someone . I do get the way you are saying this and it is correct but knowing that anything is possible, and we are growing everyday that we put our effort into our work, we are growing .And I guess that is what HP Cobra meant by only the humble survive here( in a way). Eg. If I reach the 100th floor of a building and there are no other building around me and every other building is shorter than mine, I can declare myself the king as I "see more" and act as a messiah. Sorry to go into this - But the reptilians having destroyed other planets were full of this crap and decided to go against Satan and the Gods. Now we all know they lost the War on the bigger scale.
