Discipline eats motivation for
00:00:01
breakfast. You don't need motivation.
00:00:03
It's great if it arrives. It's some
00:00:05
extra fuel on the fire, but discipline
00:00:07
is the thing that you need. What would
00:00:09
you tomorrow want you today to do? You
00:00:11
tomorrow would want you to keep that
00:00:13
promise to yourself. And it's why
00:00:15
discipline is so much more valuable. I
00:00:17
remember this conversation between Jock
00:00:20
Willink and Sam Harris 6 years ago.
00:00:22
They're talking about how you can't fake
00:00:23
bravery because if you do a thing in
00:00:26
spite of being scared of doing the
00:00:27
thing, that is bravery, right? There's
00:00:29
no such thing as fake bravery. If you do
00:00:30
the thing and you're scared, that's
00:00:32
bravery. If you don't do the thing and
00:00:33
you weren't scared, that's not bravery.
00:00:35
The same thing goes for discipline.
00:00:36
Doing the thing in spite of not wanting
00:00:38
to do the thing is discipline, right?
00:00:41
You don't need motivation. Get yourself
00:00:43
up to go and do a thing. Make the
00:00:44
promise small. Build it up step by step.
00:00:46
Know that you are going to have
00:00:47
setbacks. And this is my favorite rule
00:00:49
from James Clear, which is a habit
00:00:51
missed once is a mistake. A habit missed
00:00:53
twice is the start of a new habit.
