Habit is what keeps you going.PinDiscipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.PinDon’t join an easy crowd; you won’t grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high.PinStart from wherever you are and with whatever you’ve got.PinDon’t wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.
