Self-respect and discipline are like swords to be used, they require honing, upkeep and training move with efficiency, stay sharp and be successful with. I’ve honed my willpower to an immutable force. If I decide to do something, or quit something I always follow through. It’s taken many years to get here but I now can count on my capability to commit and follow through, every time. In many ways it’s a double edged sword, both a blessing and a curse..but that’s another tale. I accept when I decide it’s not the time to do the chore or task during the window I had originally planned, that’s fine and it’s our privilege / prerogative as we answer only to ourselves. If I decide to blow something off I also declare to myself when exactly it’s a better time to do it. Then I do it.
