“You only live once” has become the battle cry of much of our society. Unfortunately, this concept cloaks a dangerous enemy—and that is indulgence.

We indulge because we feel we have the right, but this short-term justification of our habits will not create long-term gain.

Rather, it creates a habit that goes against the endurance we need to succeed in life. Of course, indulgences are okay,

but when they are happening every day, your endurance weakens. Rather than living out of a place of indulgence,

live from a place of discipline. Jim Rohn described discipline as “the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

He’s right. A disciplined life will be an accomplished one. I’m Mac Hammond, and this is the Winner’s Minute.
