discipline is the root of all good qualities but you have to absolutely apply it to things outside of just waking up early it's it's everything it's working out every day making yourself stronger and faster and more flexible and healthier discipline is eating the right foods to fuel your system it it's about disciplining your emotions so you can make good decisions it's about having the discipline to control your ego so your ego doesn't get out of hand and control you it's about treating people the way you would want to be treated and and doing the tasks

that you don't necess Al want to do but that you know will help you or help your team it's about facing your fears takes discipline to face your fears so you can conquer them and that's what discipline is discipline means taking the Hard Road the uphill road to do what's right for yourself and for other people it's so often the easy path the easy path that calls to us to be weak for that moment to break down for that moment to give in to the desire and the shortterm gratification but the discipline will not allow

that the discipline calls for strength and fortitude and will it won't accept weakness it won't tolerate another breakdown the discipline can seem like it's your worst enemy but the reality is discipline is your best friend it will take care of you like nothing else can and it'll put you on that path the path to strength and health and intelligence and happiness and most importantly it'll put you on that path to Freedom person's strengths are often their biggest weaknesses and so that also means that their weaknesses can be their strengths so me I am weak in

all those ways that I listed I am weak but I don't accept that I don't accept that I am what I am and that that is what I'm doomed to be no I don't accept that I'm fighting I'm always fighting I'm struggling and I'm scrapping and I'm kicking and clawing at those weaknesses to change them to stop them some days I win some days I don't but each and every day I get back up and I move forward with my fists clenched toward the battle toward the struggle and I fight with everything I've got to

overcome those weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as I strive to be just a little bit better today than I was yesterday I want to tell you something else and I want to make this clear don't just listen don't just listen do I'm I'm not just talking so you know I'm not just talking I'm doing and I don't want you to just listen put this information to work make today count every day go forward get aggressive and attack whether it's on the battlefield or on the beat or in the factory or on the farm

or on the construction site or on on the website in the garage or in the firehouse don't hesitate step step forward and get after it there's another kind of instinct that you need to be on the lookout for and this one is a liar this one is a sabur well this one is a backbiter and like the Devil Himself he's a shape shifter he's going to disguise himself and make you think he's got your best interest in mind but he doesn't this is the Instinct that says you've had enough this is the Instinct that says

you you've you've G a Your Best Shot you can you can stand down you can back off you can take a KN this is the Instinct that says you can rest now do not listen to that instinct do not listen that instinct is a liar and wants to bring you down that that's the Instinct that's a a defense mechanism it wants to give you an out place to run to a little little place of sympathy an amnesty a little place of amnesty where everything is Forgiven where all these these failures can gather together and comfort

and drown their sorrows in lies and in deception and they tell each other and they'll tell you you did the best you could no they'll say the deck the deck the deck was stacked against you and they'll say it's not your fault and they'll tell you it's okay to stop it's okay to settle it's okay to give up and that is the Instinct you need to fight you need to push back to smash into the ground do not take the easy way out to not give up based on Instinct if you are forced to stand

down to retreat so that you can re rebuild and re attack so be it but make that decision based on logic not on the Instinct of surrender and defeat and you need to train that instinct Your Instinct train it to say get up go fight on and if that is what you become if that becomes your fundamental reaction to adversity if that becomes your gut instinct then you will overcome just about anything that stands in your path people want to know how to stop the laziness and they want to know how to stop the proc
