An ideal that we must define. An ideal that we must codify in no uncertain terms so we know what we are striving for. We must have a code to follow.

Every moment you are alive is made of choices you get to make. Little, tiny choices that alone mean nothing, but when combined together, mean everything. You have to make the right choices. The hard choices. You have to deny immediate gratification and pushback against weakness. You must impose Unmitigated Daily Discipline in all things.
