2. "There's the pain of discipline, and the pain of regret. If you choose the pain of discipline, you'll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment."
Think of all the things you've wanted to do, but never have. Think about something you dreamed of doing five or 10 years ago but didn't work to do, and think about how good you'd be today at that thing if you had. Think about all the time you wasted, and can never get back.
Then, today, start pushing yourself to do what you hope to do, so five or 10 years from now you won't look back with regret.
Sure, the work is hard. Sure, the work is painful. But it's a lot less painful than thinking back on what will never be.
