chuckle I should have asked in mustard zeros or six is there a dichotomy
dichotomy in the unmitigated unmitigated daily discipline in all things yeah and
like I said this is why I put this question here because it's related to
the question the answer that I just gave which is yes you can you can overdo it
and there is a dichotomy you can put so much focus on working you can put so
much working so much focus on working that you lose track of your family and
everything goes down tail with your family or you can do the opposite put so
much focus on your family that you lose track of that you don't do what you're
supposed to do at work so you need to back off a little and you get people
that waste time on things that don't matter mm-hmm this goes back remember
the podcast we did where I was talking about how like a black belt when a white
belt - clapping grabbing a black belt sleeve and it just doesn't matter
there's people that think that it's important that I do this thing this
certain way and the reality is it's useless it doesn't matter you're being
OCD right you're being OCD so or you maybe not being follows you but you're
being borderline you've got to think about what's important what's not
important and if your discipline if you generally or oftentimes people that are
hyper disciplined about little things a lot of times they're missing their
discipline in other areas of their life and one of them and and you we've talked
about this before - which is somebody that just because someone is hyper
disciplined in their physical fitness doesn't mean that they're disciplined in
their rest of their life in many other ways whether it's financial whether it's
their relationships whatever like everything they can be screwing every
they're super disciplined in weighing their food and doing macro calorie
counting and all that stuff right and yet they haven't paid their phone bill
or whatever and they've got financial issues or they've got health like other
health issues and so you need that you need to back off enough on the little
things that don't matter that so that the things that matter you can actually
take care of now the weird economy in this is again it always comes
up the Russian soldiers in the Chechen war not shaving is it really important
that they shave not really but what's really important is that they
have discipline overall and when they stop shaving they let go of their
discipline and that was the problem now so there is about that's what I'm
saying there's a balance and I guess well let me let me make that a little
more clearly if we were in a war and what I was focused on was echo you
better shave tomorrow that was my big focus and echo your uniform better be
squared away tomorrow like that that is not what the most important the most
important thing is like echo do you understand where the fallback positions
are an echo do you understand what your field of fire is echo do you know what
you're supposed to do when we start getting overrun those are what's
important and but if I focus on this little thing that doesn't really matter
that can that can be a problem so I need to make sure that I'm focused on the
correct things and in life yes you can unmitigated daily discipline if you try
to apply it to absolutely everything in your life just like prioritizing execute
if you try and solve all your problems at the same time you won't be able to
solve any if you try and implement perfect discipline in every single thing
that you do you won't be able to apply discipline to the things that are most
important mm-hmm my garage gym you floor mm is dirty okay I sweep it sure I sweep
it every third day I just sweep it out but I don't get in there with a bucket
and a mop and try and clean the chalk off so it's perfect black sir why good
because it doesn't matter yeah so some things in life are like your gym floor
it just it doesn't matter if there's chalk on it I'm gonna put more chocolate
later the chalk doesn't make me slip it doesn't make me sick it doesn't it
doesn't but I don't care how it looks so don't worry about the chalk on the gym
floor in fact there's gyms in the world where
you're not allowed to have chalk because they don't want to talk on the gym floor
though those places shouldn't exist in the world
they should be they should be illegal yes there should be chalk everywhere
yeah Jim available yeah you're right so don't focus on things that don't matter
there you go yeah it seems like the whole discipline equals freedom thing
and whether you agree with it or not actually you know I think he will agree
with this it's a dance you know it's the dance with discipline and freedom you
mean it about a balance of an economy yes take ownership depends on who you
are like you yeah the discipline is gonna be taking the lead big time you
know and when you exercise your freedom with I don't know diet-wise is like what
mint chocolate chip ice cream or something like this when you exercise
that freedom it's not gonna be very often but when you do boom you're gonna
have benefit yeah and that's when you see somebody that's let's just talk
about this well when you see somebody that's out of shape you could say you
could say one or two things you could say not enough discipline right or you
could say too much freedom we know it's one of those two things yes have you see
someone that's having financial issues yeah it's one or two things not enough
discipline or too much freedom they're forgetting out that credit card when
they shouldn't right yeah so yeah yeah that goes without saying that it's a
balance it's dichotomy that's correct yeah so even and also on top of that the
the discipline in all things cuz that's the question writing it oh if you could
but maybe you could write a book called the dance the dance of leadership I'll
just copy the but the in all things like discipline in diet discipline in you
know work out and not slacking in whatever and that looks way different
than discipline in like relationships for example like if you're like a
difference like to you know the discipline not to lose your temper or
your discipline to to respond to a maybe not disciplined person or something
let's say is someone you love who's maybe emotionally different than you or
whatever that looks and feels way different you know if you really think
about it so if you're like hey I'm not gonna I don't know we I'm not gonna go
to the park with my wife because I'm working out that's my discipline I'm no
slack so you're lacking the discipline to
organize around your relationship exactly right with your relationship or
you're lacking the discipline to make sure that your wife understands that
you're going to train yeah but as far as really and now that's back on the
training in but like with like your relationships unless your relationships
aren't important to you which is I mean I would argue most times there's some
relationships in your life that that are gonna be important I would argue that
well yeah there should be I think so too yes so that's what you're looking for
maintaining discipline in those relationships looks different so it
might not be as obvious so when someone says me admit it
when you say unmitigated discipline and all things I don't think automatically
right off the top of my head like oh you know my relationship with my wife you
know or even the relationship with your kids like when I think unmitigated
discipline in all things including my kids so I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure
they're disciplined oh but the discipline of you of yourself dealing
with the kids that's a whole different thing assume
saying true so you gotta kind of keep those in my focus on yourself yeah I
found it when I'm gonna keep that in mind
it'll help and then yeah and do the dance with freedom you designate how
much freedom you're gonna exercise and then you do the dance soon saying you
balance the dichotomy that's what you do
here's the wrong thing what I made a mistake of at one point long time ago I
looked at you and I was like should I need to do that I need to wake up I need
to like do all this stuff water but if if I were to do that I jump myself up so
I can't like you can't use like the next person as the standard as far as the
balance goes like you have to designate your own balance yeah cuz you have to
modulate for your life yeah whatever brought people don't just
automatically know that I know I didn't Chuck figured it I didn't see you
getting up at 4:30 at any point though yeah I tried and you know that
Jack anyway
