Описание: #selfdiscipline #fallforward #difficulty

Are you constantly wondering why self-discipline is so hard?
Why it feel so hard to get up in the morning?
Why do you talk yourself out of going to the gym?
Why you procrastinate rather than study or work?

Why self-discipline must be hard?

Let's go back in time for a bit.

Disciplina was a goddess in Roman mythology. She was referred to education and training, self-control and resolve, understanding in a subject of study, and living an orderly life. For her devotees, the goddess personified these qualities. She was widely worshipped by imperial Roman troops. Particularly those stationed around the Roman Empire's frontiers. Shrines to her have been discovered in the United Kingdom and North Africa. The fort at Cilurnum on Hadrian's Wall was devoted to the goddess Disciplina, as shown by an inscription on a stone altar discovered in 1978. Her main qualities were frugalitas, severitas, and fidelis, which translates as frugality, sternness, and loyalty.
In today’s world, we might just know the concept of disciplina as ‘self-discipline’. A very arduous concept for most of us. As the world opens up and makes things easier for us, the arduousness is understandable. Technology is the modern day pandora’s box.
So, when the world is offering us so much, how can one resist? Especially when there is an abundance of nuggets of pleasure. As soon as you start studying, the playstation beside you starts begging to be played. And it is not just technology posing as pandora’s box.
