Sometimes I meet people who think that living a structured and disciplined life is limiting... I think it's liberating. In this video, I talk about why self-discipline is important and how it actually leads to freedom.

ABOUT THE VIDEO
_
In this video, I talk about Friedrich Nietzsche, Ecce Homo, fate, and greatness.
For Nietzsche, becoming who you are leads to greatness. And in Ecce Homo, he wrote, “[that] one becomes what one is presupposes that one does not have the remotest idea what one is.” The question of how you become what you are begins with the idea that you don’t know what you are in the first place. You’re something that has to be discovered, and by taking the journey towards self-discovery, you’re embarking on the journey of a lifetime, while also moving towards your own greatness.
But you’re probably wondering, “where do I discover myself?” No one know where you can find yourself except for you. There are no directions, no sign posts, and nobody to follow. You have to follow your instincts. Only you know which direction to take. There are things which naturally attract your attention, and they present you with questions you can’t help but think about or want answers to. Those questions will lead you towards yourself. Your instincts are the compass which will guide you on your journey.
