MIND    OVER    MATTER

If  you  open  it, CLOSE  IT.
If  you  turn  it  on, TURN  IT  OFF.
If  you  unlock  it, LOCK  IT.
If  you  use  it, TAKE  CARE  OF  IT.
If  you  break  it, REPAIR  IT.
If  you  can't  fix  it, CALL  IN  SOMEONE  WHO  CAN.
If  it's  not  yours, DON'T  TAKE  IT.
If  you  move  it, PUT  IT  BACK.
If  you  borrow  it, RETURN  IT.
If  it  belongs  to  someone  else, GET  PERMISSION  TO  USE  IT.
If  you  don't  know  how  to  operate  it, LEAVE  IT  ALONE.
If  you  make  a  mess, CLEAN  IT  UP.
If  you  can't  do  better, DON'T  JUDGE.
If  it's  none  of  your  business, DON'T  ASK  QUESTIONS.
If  you  can't  say  anything  nice, DON'T  SAY  ANYTHING  AT  ALL.
If  you  promise  it, KEEP  IT.
If  it's  your  fault, APOLOGIZE  FOR  IT.
If  it  doesn't  concern  you, DON'T  MESS  WITH  IT.

 

        

It's all mind over matter.
If you don't mind, it does matter.
I don't mind and you don't matter.
Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right.

 

The distance between dreams and reality is called discipline.  Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts.  Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit.  You either control your mind or it controls you.  You cannot control your circumstances, but you can control your character.  A disciplined mind leads to happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.

Self-discipline: the road may be hard, but the results are priceless.  Self-discipline is often disguised as short-term pain, which often leads to long-term gains.  Success starts with self-discipline.  Self-discipline is a key ingredient in success.  Discipline not only determines success but also determines how long you can stay successful.  Your level of success is determined by your level of discipline and perseverance.  Disciplined talent without discipline is worthless.

The discipline you enforce today determines the success you'll enjoy tomorrow.  Through constant self-discipline and self-control, you can develop greatness of character.  Without self-discipline, success is impossible.  If you don't control what you think, you can't control what you do.  Overcome addictions and weaknesses.  The first step to getting what you want is to have the courage to get rid of what you don't.

Discipline is doing what needs to be done, even if you don't want to do it.  To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart.  You can never conquer the mountain.  You can only conquer yourself.  If we were supposed to talk more than we listen, we would have two mouths and one ear.

Be better today than you were yesterday through active discipline, reactive discipline, and proactive discipline.
