Becoming UnDone 006 | DISCIPLINE (W3) with Toby Brooks
On this 2nd of January, gyms are packed. People are eating better. A new year promises a new beginning. Motivation runs high.
But none of my first four guests said a word about motivation. I never heard any of them complain about they were able to accomplish their goals because they’d been magically gifted an extra helping of internal drive.
Because success isn’t ABOUT motivation.
I heard a great quote this morning: motivation has an expiration date. And when motivation dies, discipline must take its place.
That’s what Joseph, Kara, Brad, and Mike all said. Whether outright or in reading between the lines, they told me consistently that the way they found success and overcame failure was not because they were motivated. It was because they were disciplined.
So 2023 for me is a year of discipline. I will not just start well, but I will plan strategically. I will work and pursue relentlessly. I will set personal bests physically. I will finish the book I have been working on most recently. And I will commit to the process of making Becoming Undone something I can be proud and that serves to inspire people around the world.
