little satisfaction that you get by not doing it in the first place.

Doing something that you absolutely don’t want to do but that you know is great for you is the
ultimate way to express self-discipline in its purest form. Keep in mind that you will probably never enjoy
doing it, but that if you keep on doing it, the rewards that you will reap will be far beyond the measly
little satisfaction that you get by not doing it in the first place.
