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