“Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all.” – George Washington

Motivation is only great as an initial fuel

Discipline is what drives you towards your goals

A thread 🧵
92% of people fail their goals

They wish they had more motivation

Or desire more willpower

This is the WRONG approach

They fail because they rely on motivation alone
Dont Trust Motivation to reach your goals

Motivation is based on emotion and is
- Unreliable
- Fleeting
- Inconsistent

These positive emotions only last 1-6 weeks

Your desire to reach your goal may stay consistent

Your willingness will waver
With motivation

- Getting started is easy
- You are energetic & pumped

With self-discipline

- You arent energetic
- You feel neutral

You have to do what you have set out to do anyway

Every day it gets a little easier
The hard part is you must do it every day
Self discipline is #1 ingredient for success

Self-discipline is like a muscle

Use it more & it becomes stronger

The pains of self-discipline will persist for a while, but they will disappear
Transform an uncomfortable feeling into a habit and you remove the uncomfortableness.

- No for motivation
- No crappy emotions

Focus intensely on goals for certain days until
- It is on autopilot
- It is automatic & effortless
Practice these 6 steps to strengthen your self-discipline

1. Focus on Identity
2. Remember your why
3. Become comfortable being uncomfortable
4. Target the fundamentals
5. Meditate
6. Build good habits
