Suffer the Pain of Discipline or the Pain of Regret

"But Angela this is SO hard!"  I've heard that phrase many times in my years of teaching.  Of course it would be easier to give up or just not try all that hard but ultimately that will leave you dissatisfied. Why?  Because deep down you want to be better and you want to succeed and you know that every time you don't do the work required to get to that place you are letting yourself down.  The choice is either to suffer the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.  The pain of discipline will get you to the place you want to be but the pain of regret gets you further and further away from that place.  If you are going to be in pain anyways why not choose the one that gets you closer to your goal!
