Beat yourself before you are beaten.

CONQUER YOURSELF.

One who would win numerous battles and have victories in countless wars must first conquer himself. We must be reminded of the need and importance of self-discipline and the strength that comes from overcoming our own limitations. At some point in our lives, we will all face challenges that may seem insurmountable. These could range from personal struggle with addiction to a difficult relationship with a friend or family member, or even just the challenge of achieving a long-term goal.

The key to overcoming these difficulties is in our readiness to be buried in our dreams and vision, and be devoted to the act of beating out our laziness, flushing away the lack lustre attitudes, and dealing with the indiscipline that holds us down. If we would conquer ourselves, we must face all our challenges head-on. We must be honest with ourselves about our strengths and weaknesses and be willing to put in the hard work necessary to overcome these obstacles.

Self-discipline is key in this process. We must be willing to make sacrifices and stay committed to our goals, even when it feels difficult or impossible. This requires us to take control of our emotions and impulses, and to resist the temptation to give up or give in. Through this process, we slowly begin to build confidence in ourselves and our ability to overcome any obstacle. We begin to see that we are capable of achieving greatness, and that the only limit to our success is ourselves.

Ultimately, conquering ourselves requires embracing the journey, not just to appreciate the destination. We must be willing to learn from our mistakes, grow from our failures, and celebrate our successes along the way. When we do this, we truly become the masters of our lives and the conquerors of ourselves, and everything else that may want to hinder us from reaching our destination and achieving our goals.
