    1)You will fail. You can't win every time. DON'T QUIT!
    2) You will have to do alot of things over and over to the point of exhaustion and boredom. DON'T QUIT!
    3) Distractions will appear as will obstacles. Stay focused on the goals and... DON'T QUIT!

    "ACCEPT THE STRUGGLE" --Wisest words ever spoken about self-discipline. A lot of people think self-disciplined people enjoy torturing themselves for higher gain. They don't enjoy it more than you, they just know that it will be worth it and they have their mind set on the end goal. They accept that it is a struggle, and breaking through or overcoming that struggle is the payoff.
    Undisciplined people can't accept the struggle. To them struggle = failure, and they quit before they even get the payoff because they don't want to struggle at something. And so, they struggle with regret, being unsatisfied, unhappy, and fantasizing about what they want in life instead of getting it, and possibly cheating or stealing to get it. Kinda backwards if you think about it.

    Having parents and grandparents who grew up in Communist Yugoslavia, I grew up with the mindset of blaming other things and other people for my failures.

      Some people are wired to be more creative and productive in the witching hours. It’s so much easier to focus with the rest of the world asleep. There is no static of cares and dogs and bill collectors or appointments. Think about it, even during the time of cavemen , someone had to be wired to be nocturnal to protect the cave from sabertooth tigers while everyone else was asleep.

I keep telling people to try quitting but this stuff has many people locked in the up/down loop, so they can't get anything done, let alone get excited about anything.

      You can start with your collection of virtues and values. Build strength by studying/applying action according to a moral code. Good leaders have code. Kindness, charity, helping others is high worth. We are what we do. Listening is highly underrated. Keeping a journal is good. Taking time for your mental, physical and emotional health. Cut out toxic people and influence and distractions. Downsize life if necessary. Set small goals. Work strong sleep well. Realize that we are all in same condition. And people need your inspiration too. Holy cow keep smiling.

    I'll share this here. I have tried boxing amateur competitively, at the age of 22 and I wasn't very good at at it. I lost all of my bouts. I found that people generally were more inclined to make fun of me for my poor record than give me some credit for the fact that I tried competing in a very hard sport. A sport which these people who would make fun of me themselves would never attempt. Then 22 years later at the age of 44 I decided to have another attempt at the sport of amateur boxing and my only goal was to get just one win. But I didn't want the first win on my record to be against an inexperienced competitor who was having his first bout aged in his 40s because what sense of satisfaction would there be in that? I asked to be matched against a more experienced opponent as long as I didn't give away too much weight, because my belief is size does matter. There is also no shame in losing to a more experienced opponent. My first boxing bout in 22 years was against a more experienced opponent and I lost. But my second opponent in 22 years was also more experienced. But I was too determined to lose that bout. I was out of bed at 5am every morning and jogging and sprinting. I was 100% focused in my preparation for that bout . I won that bout on points, not because I was a more talented boxer than my opponent, but because I was way too fit for him. I didn't stop throwing punches from the start of each round to the end of each round.

    For years I fell into the Christian trap of praying that God would take all my troubles away. I realized I was a fool and started praying that God would give me the fight, the strength to fight and overcome every obstacle. My life is better, my relationship with God is better, and I'm a better man for embracing the struggle. Thanks for the, as always, wise words sir.

Wish our leaders had your attitude to life but it is not PC enough for them. As a naturalised Australian, born in England I regret to see the British " stiff upper lip" vanishing. Upbringing too helps self control. As a child in England in the early 1940s if I got upset about something petty my parents would say "put some iron in your backbone" Probably the best advice possible, especially during wartime. As an old man the state of the world causes me sorrow. Anyhow Bjorn keep up your good work! All the best, stay safe and well. ATB.

    I love your philosophy. It is very similar to my late father's. I owe it to him that I never give up. My son has learned this from me, his Mum. He took up powerlifting a couple of years ago. He knows that the path of least resistance - both in the literal sense and the metaphorically - does not lead to achievement and self-worth. His girlfriend powerlift trains with him. My fiancee passed away 2 and a half years ago and I have been dwelling on that too much recently (lock down life 🤔) , so I needed your good advice today that life is a daily test, it is how each of us manages that struggle which enables us to carry on achieving and growing. My usual ethos is 'Get up and show up'. It is for this reason I set out on hill and mountain hikes, often alone and a bit scared. But I know it will build character and it's a good example to my son. We all need some encouragement from time to time. Thank you for being my mentor today. Onwards and upwards!
