how do I get the desire to have discipline how do I get the desire to
have discipline there I keep getting asked this type of question how do I get
discipline or how do I want discipline or how do I maintain discipline and the
answer it's it's a simple answer but obviously it's not easy and there's all
kinds of little tricks and methods that people talk about and you know they have
some merit you know maybe they do work these these
things you know do the little things people say and wake up early I say that
and write things down and take cold showers and tell everyone what you're
going to do so broadcast it and make promises or or make bets with with your
friends of something that you don't want to lose and those things those ideas
they're cool I'm sure they're gonna have some impact and if they work for you
that's that's awesome but but the fact of the matter is that the reason
discipline is hard to maintain is because it is hard to maintain that's
what makes discipline hard it's hard and if you hear me claim that discipline is
easy for me then straight up that's just my ego talking that's what
that is because I'm unfortunately just as human as everyone else and it is work
to maintain the discipline that's what it is work holding the line maintaining
the standard giving no slack none that's the discipline
that's the discipline and it is hard and if there's one thing I would say that
does make it easier it's to envision what it feels like when you're done what
it feels like after you've worked out or you've held the line on your food intake
or you've pushed through some monotonous project that you have to do in all those
things when they're done that they feel good and contrary to that envision what
you will feel like later when you let the discipline slack you know the
feeling feeling weak and defeated and you know that you're falling behind so
get to know those two different types of feelings and ask yourself which one you
want to feel in ten minutes or in a half an hour when when the thing
is done when the discipline has Blin implemented remember what that feels
like and then remember that those minutes and those hours they turn into
weeks and months and years and holding the line in those critical minutes will
put you in an infinitely better place physically and mentally if you maintain
the discipline so work through the weakness fight through the temptation
hold the line hold the line maintain the discipline it is not easy
but it is worth it because yes because discipline equals freedom
