The real reason we resist discipline

Your discipline isn't waiting on better conditions—it's waiting on better stories. So, let's tell a true story.

Why do you resist discipline?

Simple. Because discipline would make you do the thing you're trying to avoid.

The very action that would move you forward—the one that would actually solve your problem—is the same action you're hiding from.
That's the real battle. It happens in your head, but you can feel it in your whole body.

You know what you need to do. But you're scrambling for an escape route. So, you find a justifying story or you create one. You tell yourself the story until you believe it. Resistance activated. Escape route found.

Resisting discipline is wanting a treasure without digging for it.

It's wanting a championship without playing the games. Strength without stress. Change without uncertainty. The reward without the work.

But here's the story that changes everything inside you:

"The action I'm avoiding is the exact action that will set me free."

Event + Response = Outcome. Do the work.
