You sabotage yourself when you know what you should do and still postpone it.
You sabotage yourself when you look for excuses instead of solutions.
You sabotage yourself when you allow the emotion of the moment to take over your reason.
The stoic understands that their worst enemy is not outside…
it is inside.
It is the voice that says “I’ll start tomorrow,” “I’m not enough,” or “why bother.”
Mastering yourself is silencing that voice.
Acting even when you don't feel like it.
Following through even when no one is watching.
Because true power is not in controlling the world,
but in controlling yourself.
