This Is Discipline

If you do not discipline yourself, life will do it for you. If you do not know how to show up for yourself, no one will show up for you. That is discipline. That is life. Because life is about self-discipline. If you don’t discipline yourself, you won’t know when you are not doing enough for yourself.

That is what discipline does for us. It holds things together. It keeps us on track. It keeps us going. It helps get over obstacles. It forces us to do things that we wouldn’t have done.

Discipline is hard. But we need it. We need the spirit of dicipline in our lives. If we are not disciplined, we are going to be everywhere.

When you are everywhere, you are nowhere. When you are running in circles, you are not running at all. When you are not doing the right things, you are not doing anything at all. When you are not showing up for yourself, you are not showing up for yourself at all.

And life is about self-discipline. If we are not disciplined, we are going to be stuck in a rut.

So if you want to discipline yourself, you have got to be there for yourself. You have got to have the courage to do what is scary. You have got to be comfortable with the uncomfortable. You have got to have the courage to stand up for yourself, to do what you have not done before in your life.

To discipline yourself, you must always show up for yourself. You must always do what you need to do to get what you want. That is discipline.

Discipline is not about being the strongest in the room. It is not about being the smartest in the room. It is not about being the toughest in the room. Discipline is more than that.

So what is discipline? It is having the courage to show up for yourself. It is having the courage to do what you need to do.

If you want to be successful, you must have the courage to show up for yourself.

The question is, Will you show up for yourself?
