Discipline calls for strength and fortitude and WILL. To give in to desire and short – term gratification.ĭiscipline will not allow that. So often, the easy path calls us: To be weak for that moment. Discipline means taking the hard road - the uphill road. Discipline is about facing your fears so you can conquer them. It is about doing the tasks you don’t want to do, but you know will help you. It is about treating people the way you would want to be treated. It is about having the discipline to control your ego, so it doesn’t get out of hand and control you. It is disciplining your emotions, so you can make good decisions. It is eating the right foods, to fuel your system correctly. It is working out, every day, making yourself stronger and faster and more flexible and healthier. But that is just the beginning you absolutely have to apply it to things beyond waking up early. BE RELENTLESS.ĭiscipline starts with waking up early. Looking for you to exhale, set your weapon down, and close your eyes, even just for a moment. Fight weak emotions with the power of logic fight the weakness of logic with the power of emotion.Īnd in the balance of those two, you will find the strength and the tenacity and the guts to say to yourself: I. When your feelings are screaming that you have had enough, when you think you are going to break emotionally, override that emotion with concrete logic and willpower that says one thing: I don’t stop. When it just doesn’t make any logical sense to go on, that’s when you use your emotion, your anger, your frustration, your fear, to push further, to push you to say one thing: I don’t stop. And when one fails, you need to rely on the other. Because emotion and logic will both reach their limitations. It takes both emotion and logic to reach your maximum potential, to really give everything you have, to go beyond your limits.

How can you use it to your advantage? If the stress is something you can’t control: Embrace it. If the stress is something that you can control and you are not, that is a lack of discipline and a lack of ownership. Stress is generally caused by what you can’t control. Whatever problems or stress you are experiencing, detach from them. And to do that you must do something critical in many situations: Detach. So that is your first step: Gain perspective. Humans can withstand almost inconceivable stress - and you can too. And I fight with everything I’ve got: To overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as I strive to be just a little bit better today than I was yesterday … But each and every day: I get back up and I move forward. I’m struggling and I’m scraping and kicking and clawing at those weaknesses - to change them. WILL.Īnd use that Mind Control to move your life where you want it to be: stronger, faster, smarter, quicker, friendlier, more helpful, more driven. Impose what you want on your brain: DISCIPLINE. You are declaring martial law on your mind: MIND CONTROL. So next time you are feeling weak or lazy or soft or emotional, tell those feelings they don’t get a vote. You have to decide that you are going to be in control, that you are going to do what YOU want to do. Get after it and you will become the person you want to be.
