“You are the only person capable of changing your life—no one can do that for you. The easiest way to change yourself is to change the things you do each day.”
Daniel Walter, The Power of Discipline: How to Use Self Control and Mental Toughness to Achieve Your Goals

“One of the most popular TED Talks came from Jia Jiang, in which he spoke about spending time living outside of his comfort zone. Jiang spent 100 days seeking out opportunities to experience rejection to help him overcome social anxiety and his fear of rejection to become a more confident person. It involved him doing things like asking a random stranger to lend him $100, knocking on someone’s door and asking to play soccer in their backyard, and asking for second helpings in a restaurant without paying. At the end of the 100 days, Jiang was a completely different person—he was confident and sociable because of how kind people were to him during this time spent outside his comfort zone.”
Daniel Walter, The Power of Discipline: How to Use Self Control and Mental Toughness to Achieve Your Goals

“They understand that you don’t need to be busy to be productive. The monks are taught that to avoid burn-out, you need to slow down. This is one of the reasons why they meditate.”
Daniel Walter, The Power of Discipline: How to Use Self Control and Mental Toughness to Achieve Your Goals
