INSIGHT

Trust Is The Core Of Discipline

  • Discipline often fails because we lose trust in ourselves by repeatedly breaking promises we make.
  • Action rebuilds that trust by creating undeniable proof you keep commitments.
ANECDOTE

  • He earned many 24-hour "white chips" before stabilizing his commitments with a sponsor's plan.
ADVICE

Accept Failure And Recommit Immediately

  • If you break a promise to yourself, accept it without shame and immediately recommit to the plan.
  • Use accountability (call a sponsor or peer) and re-execute with full commitment.
