1️⃣Tiny power can be gathered into momentum to make a big change.
Yi Jing:“积善之家,必有余庆;积不善之家,必有余殃”
Things happen not overnight, but over a long time. If good things accumulate, a family can prosperous for generations; if bad things are left free, sooner or later a family will suffer. The correct way to self-discipline is to start from small. By accumulating slowly, it grows from small to large, gathering sand into a tower.
2️⃣The preciousness of self-discipline comes from persistence.
Whether a person can accomplish something depends on the strength of persistence.
Don’t expect to do things in one step & get immediate results. Do a little bit a day, refine difficult & huge things, adjust your own rhythm, step by step over time, it will bring you to unexpected results.
3️⃣It is easy to think, difficult to do; once started, the difficulty becomes easy.
The difficulty of action lies in fear and laziness. People staying in a state for a long time will instinctively resist change.
When a person becomes lazy, the subconscious will resist self-discipline. When a person gets used to self-discipline, the subconscious will resist laziness. People who are accustomed to self-discipline cannot be lazy, but become better and greater.
