The Paradox of High Standards and Self-Discipline
Having high standards can lead to great accomplishments but may hinder the ability to appreciate and enjoy success. Embracing self-improvement and growth while holding oneself to high standards might limit contentment and happiness. Discipline and stoicism should not involve constant self-criticism but rather self-love and respect for continuous growth. Sustainable discipline should be supportive and a source of love, not self-flagellation or self-deprecation.
