Fear Nothing

"The most spiritual men, as the strongest, find their happiness where others would find their destruction: in the labyrinth, in hardness against themselves and others, in experiments. Their joy is self-conquest... Difficult tasks are a privilege to them; to play with burdens that crush others, a recreation."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

Become a Disciple of Discipline

Discipline will lead you to Success.
Discipline will lead you to Victory.
A lot of people rely on Motivation to keep them going.
They are ALWAYS disappointed of how little they achieve.
Motivation is fleeting, coming and going with the wind.
Motivation CONSTANTLY flakes on you.
Motivation abandons you the moment you meet adversity.
Discipline does NOT.
Discipline will be by your side through the toughest storms.
Discipline will NEVER abandon you.
But you must have the fortitude and resolve to stay with Discipline.
You must have the strength and courage to suffer WITH Discipline.
And if you can manage to do that...

Discipline will lead you to Success.
Discipline will lead you to Victory.

The Path to Success is a lonely road.

In order to be the best, you must push yourself to where no one else has gone.
You must become devoted, obsessed.
No one will understand you.
No one will like you.
They'll call you crazy, insane.
They'll question everything you do.
They'll tell you "Your balance is messed up."
"You're working too hard."
In order to win, to be the best, you HAVE to take it that far.
You HAVE to be willing to walk this road by yourself.

That is the Way of Success.

Where does Toughness come from?

Where does Mental Fortitude come from?
Do you have to be born with it?
Or is it something you build over time?
Nature vs Nurture.
Personally, I HATE the idea of being born with it.
I hate believing some people are just born different, built different.
I believe everyone has a Warrior deep in their heart.
I believe anyone can become tough.
I believe anyone can become GREAT.
But you have to have the courage to go beyond your limits,
Go to the point of failure,
Push yourself past Pain and Suffering.
Very few people go that distance for various reasons.
They fear failure, They're afraid of the effort it takes.
YOU have a Warrior deep in your heart.
YOU have a Champion deep in your heart.
But you have to have the Strength and the Courage to push yourself beyond Pain, Suffering, Failure.

That is the Way of Success.

Don't take today off.

Wait until tomorrow.
Don't give in to immediate satisfaction.
Don't fall for instant gratification.
Don't let the Voice of Mediocrity whisper in your ear.
It's telling you to go back to bed.
It's telling you to procrastinate.
It's telling you to eat the donut.
It's trying to convince you to give up on your Dreams, your Goals.
You have to fight that voice.
You have to fight it with every fiber of your being.
You owe it to YOURSELF to get up, be Disciplined, Be BETTER.

Don't take today off.

Don't Overthink Things.

We often get caught up in our own thoughts.
We overcomplicate simple tasks because we're hesitant to make a mistake.
Don't let too many thoughts cloud your mind.
Just get it done.
Just start running.
Start eating healthier.
Pick up something heavy and put it back down.
Stick to the basics, and you'll be amazed at how much you achieve.

"To progress again, Man must remake himself. And he cannot remake himself without suffering. For he is both the Marble and the Sculptor. In order to uncover his True Visage, he must shatter his own substance with heavy blows of his hammer."

- Alexis Carrel

Delayed Gratification is NECESSARY for Success.

Our society has molded itself around INSTANT Gratification.
Our Society praises gluttony and laziness.
Influencers promote entitlement and narcissism.
Social Media has deteriorated our attention spans.
Instant gratification may FEEL good now,
But it comes at the cost of your future self.
Eating that donut may feel good NOW,
but it will cost you your health in the future.
You must learn to sacrifice your PRESENT self for your FUTURE self.
Learn to embrace the Pain and Discomfort of discipline NOW,
So you can enjoy Peace and Comfort LATER.

That is the way of Success.

Learn to work WITHOUT purpose.

Everyone always looks for some purpose or reason to get started.
A reason to start losing weight.
A reason to get up earlier.
A reason to become more disciplined.
This is why so many people start making improvements in their lives, and then almost immediately give up.
Something happens in their life that takes away their "purpose", so they stop working,
they stop improving.
The core principle of discipline is working without a purpose.
Working when there is no reason to work
simply because that's what you're supposed to do.

Quit looking for a purpose or reason to work hard.
Just get up and go, and you'll find your purpose later.

You MUST be Patient.

Trust the process.
The biggest reason people fail at weight loss,
or making more money,
or trying to reach their goals is a lack of patience.
Most people are looking for short cuts.
They're looking for instant results.
They want the secrets and tricks to make it easier.
But there are no short cuts.
There are no tricks.
There is only Hard Work.
You must be patient.
You must trust the process.

That is the way to Success.

Motivation is WORTHLESS.

It is a fleeting emotion.
It comes and goes with the wind.
You may feel better when you're motivated,
but motivation quickly evaporates when faced with adversity.
It is DISCIPLINE that gets you through adversity.
It is Discipline that pushes you through hardships.
Two people wake up early to go for a run.
One is motivated and the other is disciplined.
When they open their front door, they're hit with freezing rain and wind.
The motivated person was excited to go for a run,
but that excitement was torn to pieces by the sharpness of the cold.
They told themselves they would wait for the weather to get better, but it never did, so they never ran.
The disciplined person felt the same icy wind cut across their face.
Dread flooded their mind as they knew this run would be painful,
but they ran ANYWAYS.
As a result, they grew stronger, tougher, more resilient,
More Disciplined.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to "Be" Happy.

Almost everyone I've met believes they're supposed to "be" happy.
They believe the meaning of life is to "be" happy.
Unfortunately, it is the human condition to never be satisfied,
to always want more.
You've been looking at Happiness in the wrong paradigm.
Happiness is a state of DOING, not a state of BEING.
Think back on your happiest memories.
I guarantee every one of those memories were with loved ones,
or doing some act of kindness for someone else,
or working towards a goal.
Happiness must be worked for.
It must be earned.

The greatest joys of life are always earned.

Failure is not an option. It's a requirement.

At some point in your life, you will fail at something. There are too many things in the world for you to excel in.
But that is NOT an excuse to give up.
In fact, it should motivate you to try again.
Understand why and how you failed so you can come back STRONGER than before.
Try again and again to the point where everyone thinks you've gone insane.
And then try again.
This is the path of Success.
