The Free World: Is Anything Free In This World?
It is very natural and common for people to want to get things for free and live without any caution or discipline of law. People want freedom to do anything they like, and go anywhere they like. They hate to be told what to do and how to do things and this kind of attitude have led many to failure and sometimes to early grave. This is a childlike attitude, a child wants to eat sugar alone, but the adult helps the child to control his diet for a healthy living. Freedom is the ability to discipline yourself to do only those things that will help you to move forward in life.
There is one thing though about freedom, and that is the fact that it becomes something else when your freedom becomes a burden to other people. Any freedom you express that is causing headache to another person is not freedom at all, it is now an oppression of other people. When you use your freedom to earn and enjoy money to rob other people of their labour or hard earned money, you are not doing a good service to mankind. Freedom is freedom indeed when it does not infringe on other people's right. It is a free world for all, not just for you, consideration must be given to others.

Don't Count On Motivation, Because Discipline Is The Key
Discipline Is King
Motivation is a fleeting state that requires a certain mental or emotional approach to reach a goal.
It fluctuates depending on outward conditions.
In contrast, discipline can help you conquer the toughest challenges.
For example, you may wake up with a cold or flu and have a 10,000 word report to write, yet not be motivated to complete it.
However, discipline commands you tackle the work knowing it must be completed, regardless.
Success depends on discipline because motivation comes and go. It entails chipping away at a goal until the desired outcome is realised.
Motivation is interrupted by excuses and fades steadily. This is why your motivation at the beginning of the year contracts towards the latter part.
"In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a disciple, a follower, of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the integrity, to subordinate your feelings, your impulses, your moods to those values," states author Stephen R. Covey in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
