“Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.”
-Margaret Thatcher
Let’s face it: As a diabetic, discipline is difficult! But the more disciplined we become over time, the more self-esteem we develop and the easier it becomes. For us, the benefits are far greater than just pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction, however! We also get more life, a better life, a life that can make a difference.
I’m thankful today for Margaret Thatcher and the positive model she was as a strong woman–as a strong leader who made a tremendous and lasting impact on the world.
I agree, its not poor form this time – Thatcher was first and foremost a politician whose policies made life hell for thousands and thousands of people. I suggest in this case to go for a quote by someone not quite so controversial, maybe Tony Robbins or Bob Ross or something. I m sure they have/had to say some wise things about discipline – how else would Ross gotten those trees to look SO realistic ;)
