Discipline Is Everything
How to become the person you want to be
The sheer amount of information available to anyone nowadays is appalling.
Your primitive brain, equipped well for the trials of survival in nature, is at a disadvantage.
It cannot cope with the amount of stimulus. It doesn’t know how to respond. Your mind, the catalyst of your conscious self, can no longer keep up with the demand.
As a result, our distractions become the drivers of our lives.
Instead, you must refocus. You must recommit to the principled idea of intense discipline. You must force yourself to behave in a way that will get you from where you are to where you want to be.
Behaviors are action and action is king.
“Discipline is Freedom.” — Jocko Willink
Suppose you are struggling to move the needle. Or even to get moving.
Then there is just one thing to do: get up and get after it using these daily disciplines; (1) Set in your mind the vision of the person you are becoming; (2) Adjust your self-talk using “I AM” statements; (3) Find that “burn” within you; (4) And write down your goals every single day.
