Way to demanding!!
I think I am more demanding. There are certain areas and times where I do get distracted and loose focus and such without control of my self discipline, but that doesn’t happen very often. Most of my actions are intentional and purposeful and self discipline is a big part of keeping my life together and continue on this path.
when it comes to self discipline, I am demanding on myself. I often fall short on certain routines or habits I need to control, but I do beat myself up for that. I think if you’re too forgiving you won’t achieve your goals.
demanding, 100%
Demanding of the stuff that matters, forgiving of everything else… this perspective has evolved over time. I agree that discipline is critical to success but I don’t agree that everything matters. Example – Having the discipline to create a clean orderly home, washing clothes on a schedule, etc… important to create order. But the reality of having a healthy balanced life is to get clear on priorities and trade offs. So maybe I have a pile of clothes that should have been folded yesterday… in exchange I spent the time playing chess with my son. Doing the important stuff is what matters….
I am demanding for sure.
I am definitely more demanding.
I am more forgiving. I always forgive myself for the chocolate/cookie I should not have had.
Demanding!
I have learned you need both but, I’m more demanding on myself. You have to be forgiving towards yourself because you will be committing a lot of errors as you are learning or undertaking tasks. I have learned to expect errors (or learning opportunities) as I’m moving forward but, I have to be demanding of myself to keep going even when I don’t want to.
Well said Quinten!
Lately, I have lacked self-discipline ex: sleeping in later than what I want, not reading enough, too much screen time. And I have been too forgiving which is allowing it to continue to happen. I need to be demanding of myself and change.
