Make your bed quotes

 

A couple of interviews on the news channel today brought up the benefit of discipline in life to give a sense of accomplishment to our daily life.

Discipline for the day

 

Liberty Hardy writes that on May 17, 2014, Admiral William H. McRaven addressed the graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin on their Commencement day. Taking inspiration from the university's slogan, "What starts here changes the world," he shared the ten principles he learned during Navy Seal training that helped him overcome challenges not only in his training and long Naval career, but also throughout his life; and he explained how anyone can use these basic lessons to change themselves-and the world-for the better.

If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.1

Katlyn Phelps, a freelance writer and editor who has spent most of her career working as a life coach and counselor, writes 

In Jordan Peterson’s words “My sense is that if you want to change the world, you start from yourself and work outward because you build your competence that way.” Petersons “clean your room” went viral, and has clearly struck a chord with young people, many of which have reported on social media that following the advice helped to turn their lives around. The overriding idea is if you want to achieve big things, it begins with starting small. And that if you want to improve yourself, it starts with taking individual responsibility for yourself and taking action.2

Everything tidily?
