"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

My significance about this quote are very self explanatory in the quote. This quote is explains itself its not a riddle, but my thoughts about this quote are quite different see disciplining yourself into doing something can be both beneficial and dangerous I guess you could say. When you discipline yourself into doing something its very helpful in matter in where you went have to think twice about the decision you are taking because you automatically know what is it that you are doing but when it becomes serious, being discipline doesn't help you at all it just might make the things worse. You are being challenged between something you know and something you don't know. But disciplining yourself in doing the right thing can be something good for you as you won't struggle when it comes to making a right or wrong decision.

"Only I can change my life"

-Carol Burnett

This quote has a lot of power when you really think about it. It may be a 6 word quote but the potential this quote has is immense. What this quote means is that you are the creator of your life you make the life you choose to have you are the one responsible for the actions you decide to take and if you are living a very poor life that's because you attracted that to yourself your thoughts and actions are the ones that brought you there and you have the capacity to switch it all around if you are committed and up for it. An example would be, You have a really bad habit of smoking cigarettes and you know the effects they will do you your body but you can't stop for which ever reason. You have the capability to change it and replace it with a better and healthier habit. All you have to do is think about what you want to do rather than what you don't want to do.

"We need the courage to start and continue what we should do, and the courage to stop what we shouldn't do."

            -Richard  L. Evans

      I believe this quote is emphasizing the fact that many people choose the path they choose because of peer pressure and not because it was their desire. People need to take a stand in their believes for whatever reason it may be but as long as you are sure you are doing what makes YOU happy, not others. When doing something, whether its with friends or family, and in your mind you know that it isn't correct then you should be able to stand up and say "Hey I don't think we should do this" and not just let it get by because you don't want to let your family/friends down, or be judged. One of the worst feelings isn't letting your loves ones down but letting yourself down. Have the courage to do the right things in your life rather than having the courage in doing the wrong things. Courage is one of the most fundamental ideals you need in this life if you want your voice to be heard.
