Quote by Niedria Dionne Kenny

“Funny how older people mention that they were beat as children and that they turned out ok. But in reality, they did not turn out ok. They were further traumatized when they were told that they could not speak out about the abuse 'back then.' Dear old people, you did not turn out ok. You are traumatized and you passed it down.”

“In our culture we tend to denigrate practice. We want to imagine that great feats occur naturally—that they are a sign of someone’s genius or superior talent. Getting to a high level of achievement through practice seems so banal, so uninspiring. Besides, we don’t want to have to think of the 10,000 to 20,000 hours that go into such mastery. These values of ours are oddly counterproductive—they cloak from us the fact that almost anyone can reach such heights through tenacious effort, something that should encourage us all.”

“Yes, discipline – the Jedi master of productivity and the ninja warrior of success. It's like having your own personal coach cheering you on from the sidelines, whispering, "You got this!" So, while others are still in dreamland, you're already conquering the day with the finesse of a well-trained samurai. Embrace discipline like a seasoned pro, and watch as it transforms your goals. Remember, with discipline by your side, there's no challenge too daunting and no dream too big to conquer!”

“The tendency to avoid challenges is so omnipresent in human beings that it can properly be considered a characteristic of human nature. But calling it natural does not mean it is essential or beneficial, or unchangeable behavior. It is also natural to defecate in our pants and never brush our teeth. Yet we teach ourselves to do the unnatural until the unnatural becomes itself second nature. Indeed, all self-discipline might be defined as teaching ourselves to do the unnatural. Another characteristic of human nature - perhaps the one that makes us most human - is our capacity to do the unnatural, to transcend and hence transform our own nature.”

“Remember that self-discipline is not self-suppression. Suppression is when you resist and fight against your desires, keeping them as buried and unexpressed as possible. Self-discipline is when your highest desires rule your lesser desires, not through resistance, but through loving action grounded in understanding and compassion.”
