The power of discipline and consistent habits cannot be underestimated. By vanishing for half a year and focusing on developing positive habits, anyone can emerge as an unstoppable force, just like Jack Ma and Wangari Maathai. As an Arabic proverb says, "The journey is the reward." It is the small daily actions that lead to great accomplishments.
