The Exercise of Discipline

The exercise of discipline, even in seemingly unimportant tasks, strengthens the sense of continuity between days, producing, in the long term, an awareness of one’s own rhythm that is satisfying as it evolves. From this springs the pleasure of simply continuing what was started in the past, with greater skill than yesterday and less than tomorrow. Over time, evolution becomes a source of pride, and one experiences in the routine, which brings to fruition a long-term project, a strong emotional involvement.
