When Emotions Rule Your Actions Towards Success, Develop Discipline Towards Routines and Habits

I feel terrible today. I wrote 100 Medium articles.

I don’t know what your definition of success is.

However, I do know that you have excuses:

• I just don’t have time between kids and work
• I just wanna sleep on the weekends
• I just don’t have the money to bring in extra money
• I’m between brain fried and brain dead
• My spouse won’t support me
• Doing extra will pull time from my family

I know these excuses because I’ve lived with them. They can be excellent roommates.

To be honest with you, I slipped into grey area.

I was unhappy with where I was, but happy enough not to do anything about it.

And that’s a relatively bad place to be in.

This attitude caused me inconsistencies. My endeavors were based on some very fleeting things: my emotional state, my mood, and motivation.

This is just dreadfully awful, AWFUL! Bad DeShaun!

I craved to implement three key things: commitment, discipline, and consistency.
