discipline is what separates the legends from The Average Joe's it's that secret sauce that lets you push further when everyone else quits but let's be real building discipline ain't easy it's a whole mental game see we're hardwired to chase dopamine that feel-good chemical in our brains it's what makes us feel pleasure when we eat drink or just satisfy basic needs but here's the catch dopamine is addictive as hell today dopamine's everywhere scrolling social media Gam all that instant hit stuff and yeah it feels amazing for a second but then what we've forgotten what it feels
like to earn something real to grind for it most people don't get that satisfaction from putting in the work anymore they'd rather get a quick fix and call it a day and that's the real problem look we've all been there maybe you wanted to start working out or kick off some big project first week you're fired up going hard then one day you're tired you tell yourself I'll go tomorrow and just like that you're off track that's where discipline where the lack of it hits discipline is sticking to the plan even when you don't feel
like it now let me throw you some wisdom from mamoto Musashi a legendary samurai from Japan born in 1584 mhi was obsessed with becoming Japan's top swordsman so he trained Non-Stop and took on the best of the best dude faced over 60 duel and didn't lose once his philosophy laid out in in his book The Book of five rings is all about discipline dedication and grit and guess what it's still relevant for us today one ditch the shortcuts mashi didn't do stuff Just for kicks he knew that chasing pleasure makes you soft so he trained
his brain to find satisfaction only through real effort like winning a duel or pushing through a tough workout he rewired his mind to say if you want to feel good put in the work he got that greatness comes with a price and was down to pay it every single time do you think he'd be the best swordsman by sleeping in or skipping practice nah Masashi used to say time's best spent on things with purpose and nothing beats that feeling room two one thing at a time all in moushi was all about mastering a single craft
for him it was swordsmanship he trained relentlessly pushing himself to the edge this opened up more doors than he could have imagined his advice go deep on one skill instead of spreading yourself thin when you focus fully on one task it turns into a habit and that's when discipline kicks in no motivation no problem one task at a time one win at a time three stick to the path one of the biggest reasons people fall off is lack of patience we're all trained to want fast results but mhi's motto was simple never give up The
Path just like anyone else he faced doubts but he knew that patience and persistence win the game if you have a clear goal focus on on it and be willing to grind are you ready to make sacrifices to get there lock that in your mind and sooner or later the results will show up number four live with honor Musashi lived by the samurai code Bushido Seven Virtues honor respect Integrity honesty courage compassion loyalty but the big one honor it's all about self-respect when you have honor you don't take shortcuts and you don't need to rely
on Cheap Thrills Living With Honor means choosing the hard path over the easy one and respecting yourself enough to do what's right if you're ready to bring that Samurai mindset into your life hit that like button subscribe and let's keep growing together if you respect yourself you know what you're capable of and you won't back down from putting in the work day in and day out acting with honor is how you build that iron discipline so what do you think about mhi's philosophy drop your thoughts in the comments I want to hear from you but
here's the deal none of us are perfect and we'll all stumble along the way when you're trying to build discipline you've got to be real with yourself things aren't going to go your way right away and you're going to mess up but the key is bouncing back it doesn't matter how many times you fall off track what matters is getting back on quickly over time it'll happen less and less train your discipline like moushi trained with his sword relentlessly and with purpose if you're living without working on your discipline challenge yourself do one thing every
day that's tough or that you don't want to do it'll make all the difference hope this video pushes you closer to your goals see you next time [Music]
