Discipline Quote by Ruth Soukup
““Each morning we start our day filled with a certain amount of self-discipline, and as we go about our day, that resolve tends to drain out. When we start our day by focusing on the mundane and easy stuff, we waste our reserves. Eating our frogs first thing in the morning means having enough energy and discipline to truly get the important things done.””
