# Voices from the Pacific MiniGames Check out this powerful message from Emmanuel Anis, a proud athlete from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬, as he shares advice for the younger generation. His focus? Discipline — the key to success in sports and in life. “Discipline is doing what you should do, even when you don’t feel like doing it.” This truth applies to all areas of life — especially your health. Whether it’s choosing veggies over junk food, cutting back on soda, or staying active even when you're tired or lazy, discipline is what keeps you moving forward. During the MiniGames, let’s all build habits that shape a better future 💪 #BeatNCDs Pacific Mini Games 2025 Pacific-Community-SPC
