"You have to be willing to embrace everything about it that might, and likely will, be uncomfortable."
"A schedule means you are to do the work on a given day, not because you feel like it, but because you are honoring your commitment to yourself."
"Knowing that you can push through discomfort for some higher cause is a priceless gift that only you can give to yourself."
