Discipline is nothing but the highest level of self-respect. You don’t deserve the results if you won’t work for them. However, I think that’s where some get discouraged—not because the dream is unattainable, but because discipline has been miscast as deprivation. To float through life is easy, but if you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want will become the sacrifice. 

I am proud of the person I have become but, no one is perfect. There's always room to grow. I am determined to make 2026 my year and if you are too, I hope this year is the year you change your life in all of the way's you've always secretly wanted to.

There's an epidemic of insecure people in this world who spend their days trying to dim your light to feel a flicker of their own. Low self-esteem, insecurity, and projection is almost always the reason why anyone ever feels the need to put another person down. Someone who is truly content within themselves has no need to belittle others to feel worthy as their joy doesn’t depend on comparison.
