It is sometimes hard to discipline yourself to do things that your body doesn’t want to do. For example, working out. Each year my New Years resolution is to start working out every day, five times a week. But, as time goes by it gets harder and harder to go to the gym. Why? Because there are so many other things that are more important and that take less effort. In order to get the results we want it is important that we practice self control, will power and discipline. These three elements are vital to succeeding at whatever it is that you want to do in your life. I have a roommate who is way overweight and who simply doesn’t care about her health. She watches TV and eats fast food every day without fail and she uses her medical condition as an excuse that she can’t go on a diet. It’s so hard to set back and watch her wasting her life away but at the same time it’s inspiring because it’s a perfect example of what I don’t want to be. If we learn from the mistakes of other people we will find much success in our lives.
