For sometimes now I have personally fallen short of my own expectations not caused by external forces altho it's a factor but I really think 80% of the deviations comes from internal.
ever heard the saying that the greatest limitations are the once we placed on ourselves, that because there is nothing on earth that can stop a man who's mind is made up on achieving anything except himself that is how powerful the mind is
on the flip side the mind can also become so weak and vulnerable when it's empty, when it isn't fed with the right information, just like the way your body began to look pale when you're not eating right
I have found out that the biggest gab between where we are and where we are suppose to be is disciplined, like I stated I have really being my own shutcoming in achieving my goals, when the year started I was firing on all four cylinders ready to jump over any mountain before me, however things began to slip away, I began to adjust my resolutions and expectations.
tho I had planned, prepared, do my due diligence to ensure I see things through, still some circumstances beyond my control sips in, I allow my external factors get the better of me, I allow things out of hands with each passing day I let my guards down.
but then I realise that Indiscipline was a major part of my setbacks tho other external factors were there but i believe strongly if I've held on tight more on my believes and principles I would gone a little bit further.
however times isn't late and I can still recover my tracks and further more again.
