THE STANDARD OF THE ORDER
I enter this Order by choice. No one sent for me. No one forced me. I stand here because I refuse decay. I accept that no one is coming to save me. I accept that comfort weakens. I accept that pain instructs. I will govern my body. I will sharpen my mind. I will harden my spirit. I will discipline my heart. I will not collapse when life becomes heavy. I will not blame chaos for my lack of structure. I will build order where disorder once ruled. I understand that this is not temporary. This is not motivation. This is a standard. And I live under it. ASC.
