Disciplined thinking positions you to make disciplined decisions. So think about the decisions you must make in the future.

Doubt: Will I resolve this doubt by testing whether it’s true or by trusting it?

Difficulty: Will I do this difficult thing with 100% effort and responsibility, or will I hide from it?

Mistakes: Can I correct this mistake, or can I only learn from it?

Criticism: Is any part of this criticism accurate, or can I safely ignore all of it?

Complexity: Will I learn the simple principles driving this complexity, or is it ok to stay ignorant?

Frustration: Will I turn this feeling into disciplined or undisciplined action?

Failure: Will I use this failure to fuel my future efforts or to justify my lack of effort?

You can’t escape these events. You can’t escape these decisions. All you can do is prepare yourself to make the decision when the moment arrives.

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
