I was enjoying an evening out with friends and I was thinking about my daily posts. And that it would be probably very late when I would come home and that I had to choose between discipline and, well, yes what. Failure I guess. So I kind of decided not to write my daily posts, but I arrived earlier home than expected and decided still to write something here, although I want to keep it short. And yes, I knew what the subject would be: flexibility. As discipline is good, but I think we should allow ourselves every now and then to skip something, to do something more important, like being with friends, going out with friends.
And writing the last I still see the success video I saw quite a while ago, that video emphasizing doing all the work when others have fun. And yes, I certainly believe there is a point in that, I certainly believe that success is indeed about discipline and perseverance and such. But I’m not sure if overdoing is the right thing, as that what I sometimes feel I am doing.
So please be relaxed if you skip something some day. As life does not end by not doing your thing, your job or whatever it is you put on yourself. As long as you keep going and not use it as an excuse to not continue.
