Passion Two Discipline

More From Steven Pressfield

People simplify 'apollonian' into 'mild', and 'calm', and 'cool'. but 'apollonian' and 'dionysian' are two sides of one coin--a nun kneeling in her cell, holding perfectly still, can be in ecstacy more frenzied than any priestess of pan priapus celebrating the vernal equinox.
Cells Two Sides People
The country and culture commonly known as "america" had had a badly split personality all through its history. its overt laws were almost always puritanical for a people whose covert behavior tended to be rabelaisian; its major religions were all apollonian in varying degrees---its religious revivals were often hysterical in a fashion almost dionysian.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Love Passion Medicine
You cannot lead without passion. passion causes things to move, and passion creates a force multiplier. passion actually covers a multitude of sins. real entreleaders care deeply, and that is basically what passion is. passion is not yelling or being wild; it is simply caring deeply.
Real Moving Passion
What is needed, however, isn't just that people working together be nice to each other. it is discipline. discipline is hard--harder than trustworthiness and skill and perhaps even than selflessness. we are by nature flawed and inconstant creatures. we can't even keep from snacking between meals. we are not built for discipline. we are built for novelty and excitement, not for careful attention to detail. discipline is something we have to work at.
Nice Skills Discipline
The self-discipline of the social democracy is not merely the replacement of the authority of bourgeois rulers with the authority of a socialist central committee. the working class will acquire the sense of the new discipline, the freely assumed self-discipline of the social democracy, not as a result of the discipline imposed on it by the capitalist state, but by extirpating, to the last root, its old habits of obedience and servility.

Dream Dreams Come True About Yourself
I don't want to name names because i don't want to draw too many direct comparisons but the history of fascism is populated by people who need to subjugate other people and elevate their status and power to a level which is supreme. usually, any psychological study of those people will reveal a sort of lost, damaged child, who is somehow heartbroken and doesn't have any self-worth.
Heartbroken Children Self Worth
