What I Wish More People Understood About Discipline

Look at the core skill of discipline through the lens of utility. I believe understanding the utility of discipline helps access new willingness to act with discipline. That willingness creates new opportunities.

Once discipline transforms in your mind, it can transform your life tremendously. When you discover clarity and confidence in how discipline enhances the way you feel and the things you do, it’s hard not to be more and more attracted to a life built on discipline. This is what the lens of utility can do for you.

The utility of discipline is that it enhances everything it touches. Want something to get better? Infuse it with discipline. The better your discipline, the more it enhances the functional skills impactful to your life situation. The worse your discipline, the more it detracts from those functional skills and from your life.

It’s that simple. You just have to do it. That will always be the test. Your test. Do it. Do it with discipline. Or don’t. The rest is noise that distracts and detracts.

Answer the call. Do the work.
