I'm

not going to have got several thoughts on that. I'm not going to take up too much more time on the podcast. I see

I get it. Yes. So basically, it's kind of like if you if no one's landing on your street in the next several turns, it doesn't pay you to have any fucking property on the street. If someone's landing on your street, look, if you have like a four house street or a hotel street, two landings and they can be bankrupt. By the way, monopoly, the game works nothing like capitalism in real life, because by the way, the core purpose of capitalism just generate value. There's no value generated monopoly. No one's building anything. No one's creating anything. No one gets you valued. No one's there's no benefit of staying your hotels. You just lose money. In any case, okay, neither here nor there. So, intentions. Disciplined. Okay. So we got wind tensions. You have to have a plan because motivations are just fantasies without intentions. Now that you have a plan, you have an interesting situation. Motivation is how you're feeling. Sometimes you are motivated enough that you're in our striving towards the goal is what gets you to execute your intention. Actually go in, check mark your PIP urge for app and get the workouts in. But sometimes it doesn't. Because motivation waxes and wanes, it goes up and down. Sometimes you're really connected to your goal. You're like, I'm not fucking do this no matter what. And sometimes you wake up and you're like, man, fuck this. I don't want to do it. Here's the thing. Humans are higher order thinkers. Humans are some of the only animals that have their proximate desires, but higher order logical knowns. The prefrontal cortex, which is insanely overdeveloped in humans compared to all the other primates is in some understanding the seat of where plans and delayed gratification occur. And more in a better term, are coordinated. And so you can, if your dog wants to chew his toy, he's going to fucking chew his toy. There's some potential with training to wait to chew his toy until you say yes, that if it's up to him, he's going to chew his toy. As a human being, you can say, you know what, I know that I don't want to lift tomorrow. But I also know that I have a plan to lift. I have an intention to lift. I have a goal to lift. I'm motivated to do it. But right now, I'm not feeling motivated to do it. The intention is still real. A plan still exists. You might have to be in a situation where you go even if you don't want to go. And that ability is called discipline. And discipline is the ability to do things that you don't want to do to honor your intention. Discipline works on draining a kind of quote unquote battery system called willpower. The thing is willpower is a very small fucking battery. And while I have all the respect of the world for Mr David Goggins and all those folks like that, you can't willpower your way to mega success. Motivation and actually habits and passion are what really gets you to mega success. We'll talk about them in a second. Everyone has their down moments. I would conceive of the discipline. The best way of conceiving by analogy is like a backup battery that allows your house to power itself for an hour or two when the power goes out. Like a backup generator. That's discipline. When you don't feel like going, you crank it and you go. The thing is, if you're always cranking discipline by expending your willpower, you will actually run out of willpower at some point. Everyone has a breaking point. The CIA and the KGB figured that out. Generations ago, everyone quits and you don't want to quit. So what you want to do is have the best possible inspiration, motivation and intentions. You want to fatigue, manage properly set the realistic goals because you can set a goal that requires so much willpower. It drains you out in two days and then you're like, whoop, can't do it. And then every now and again, you'll still be able to exert your discipline by using willpower. Now here's the cool thing. If you every now and again, exert your discipline, your willpower pool actually grows. It doesn't grow infinitely, but it gets you to muscle you train and it flexes better for you. So if you're never used to using discipline, you ain't going to have that much willpower to exert. If you're used to using it relatively often, but not too often, it's like a training. You deplete your willpower and then it goes back up. You deplete it and you goes back up. But as you do that, your ability to replete higher and higher increases just like it does with muscle glycogen, just like it does with muscle size, just like it does with neural plasticity. Anytime he challenges system, it gets better. Then it has it has constrains and how much better it can get. It can get a lot better. It's nothing you want to depend on, but in a pinch disciplines a big deal. And this is a huge thing to tell people that Nick, I'm sure you've heard this a ton from clients and just folks around they're like, you know, like sometimes I'm just not motivated to train. And the perfect answer is like the David Goggins answer, which is like, so fucking what shut the fuck up and get to the gym anyway, motherfucker? Yeah, but I don't want to do it. So what bitch, you don't want to do a ton of shit. I don't want to fucking brush my teeth half the time I still learn to brush my teeth anyway, because he's just something you got to get done. Luckily brushing your teeth doesn't drain your willpower like crazy. Doing a two hour workout does. But the use of discipline and willpower doesn't have to be great. It should not be great, but it's got to be something you have in your back pocket, because you can't always rely on wanting to do the thing in terms of willpower. Talked about a lot before just even

trying to set up your environment.
