words, alight

"my life consists, and basically always has consisted, of attempts at writing, mostly unsuccessful. but when I didn't write, I was at once flat on the floor, fit for the dustbin." - Frank Kafka

Discipline is the strongest form of self love. It’s ignoring current pleasures for bigger rewards to come. It’s loving yourself enough to do whatever you need to do, to give yourself everything you’ve ever wanted. It’s giving up the good for the great. It’s about being relentless and having tunnel vision. It’s about believing in the long game and knowing you will accomplish the things you want.
