How many times I have told him I won’t do something again only to go back?

Uncountable times.

Then today,

As I sat in my study, I remember the letter and I promised to exercise some discipline.

I did 

Even though those tempting thoughts to check social media came.

I waved them off like the repentant prodigal son.

And that was how I could concentrate all through.

I was proud of myself 

Moral lesson?

Next you mess up, write yourself a letter, never to do that again.

Then follow it up with discipline.

Even if you fail to keep your promise at first (which is likely to be the case), don’t give up on yourself.

Forgive yourself and try again. Believe in yourself to keep through.

All things being equal, when you finally break through, you will smile and be proud of yourself, like I was 

It works.
