Discipline

“Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.”
― Jocko Willink, Discipline Equals Freedom: Field Manual

Many times in life, we have to be the ones that dig deep to find motivation to accomplish a task. There will be days when we don't feel like doing things: dishes, working out, going shopping, getting up when that alarm goes off at 7am, etc...but we must. And the more we force ourselves to do these things, the more 'good habits' that we will build.


Consider your alarm ringing at 7am your 1st test of the day. How will you respond?

― Jocko Willink, Extreme Ownership: How U.S. Navy SEALs Lead and Win 

When you make a mistake, do you own it? Do you blame other people? Have you ever failed at something only to blame other circumstances...maybe outside of your control?

Making excuses NEVER helps us accomplish goals. Owning the issue and taking action to correct it does.

Discipline

“The test is not a complex one: when the alarm goes off, do you get up out of bed, or do you lie there in comfort and fall back to sleep? If you have the discipline to get out of bed, you win—you pass the test. If you are mentally weak for that moment and you let that weakness keep you in bed, you fail. Though it seems small, that weakness translates to more significant decisions. But if you exercise discipline, that too translates to more substantial elements of your life.”
