Hope you paid attention in physics class

Yesterday I highlighted that every behavior is part of a pattern and every pattern has a trajectory. Let’s take it back one more step and narrow our focus.

Every action has impact. Every behavior has consequences. It’s fundamental, universal, inescapable cause & effect.

The disciplined person observes and owns the impact of their actions. They own it, whether the impact was what they intended or not, because they understand actions have consequences. Actions are in their control. Consequences are not, but ownership is.

The default person either doesn’t see the impact of their actions or doesn’t want to take responsibility for them. So they don’t. But it doesn’t negate the impact of their actions.

All your behavior has impact. Are you paying enough attention to see it?

Discipline is the shortcut. Do the work.
