When the weather is nice, it’s easy.
When you’ve had plenty of sleep, it’s easy.
When you like the taste, it’s easy.
When everyone is rooting for you, it’s easy.
In these cases, it doesn’t exactly take much discipline.
Just as courage is only courage when there is a risk—
when you are pushing past fear—
discipline is a virtue that comes into play only when things are hard.
I am disciplining myself
to, as Taylor Swift has said:
Lights, camera, bitch, smile,
even when you wanna die.
