Nothing produces results more reliably than discipline. Not motivation. Not talent. Not life hacks. Not books.
‘Discipline is the shortcut’ means the fastest path to getting what you want is through MORE and BETTER discipline.
This is not debatable. It’s pure unfiltered truth.

If your options are 1-year, 3-years, or 5-years . . . which one is the shortcut?

‘Discipline is the shortcut’ doesn’t mean skipping steps, skipping work, or skipping responsibilities. It means choosing the most efficient and reliable path possible.
People who avoid discipline have an emotional belief that discipline is boring and takes too long.

Because they avoid discipline, they end up taking 3x-10x longer to reach their goals . . . if they ever do.

You can accelerate your progress to any objective you want through more and better discipline.
Circumstances will rarely be ideal and will always change.
It’s all about whether you choose DISCIPLINE or stay stuck on DEFAULT.
Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
