MOLESKINE:
Find something you enjoy / want to do that also requires patience and endurance (a hobby, a home project, a health commitment). We’re so prone to seek the easy way out or the path of least resistance – that’s human. But practicing stick-to-it-ness does something to our souls that makes us better men.
Start with something you really want to do but may be hesitant to commit to. For me, it’s reading a really long classic novel or climbing a difficult route at the gym. It’s gonna suck sometimes but there’s a joy in pushing through the struggle to the end. Take the lessons learned from this experience and apply it to other areas of your life where giving up is easy.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
