Lately, I’ve been reflecting on what discipline really means when it comes to chasing a dream or protecting someone you care about. Is it more about self-love prioritizing your well-being and growth or self-sacrifice, where you push through challenges even when it’s tough?
As an astronomer, I’ve spent countless nights observing the stars, often sacrificing sleep and comfort for the sake of discovery. But I wonder, is that discipline rooted in love for what I do, or is it more about enduring hardship for a greater goal?
I’d love to hear your thoughts. How do you balance self-love and self-sacrifice when working toward something meaningful? Do you think one outweighs the other, or are they intertwined in a way that’s hard to separate?
