Happiness is the natural flower of duty. – Phillips Brooks

One of life’s many two sided coins is that happiness depends on discipline.

We can’t flourish and succeed without striving and effort.

We can’t make progress without continual difficulty.

Finding joy and contentment in the difficulties of life isn’t the norm.

Most of us spend much of our time working towards our own comfort.

We take the easy route – with our money, exercise, relationships, etc.

Only we work diligently to discharge our duties do we actually succeed.

What in your life requires more discipline?

How could you get started on something small?

How could take on something big?

Make it a great day.
