And you start to recognize when things need to be addressed, that when you don't handle them, you're walking away and you're like, fuck, that just cost me, right?

So I think a lot of it is just awareness about how it works,

How you put deposits in, how you make withdrawals out.

And just like a bank account, dude, you're going to want to deposit way more than you withdraw.

Otherwise, you're going to end up with a negative balance, which is what puts people in this place of frustration, doubt, misery, you know, looking in the mirror, hating their life, feeling frustrated about where they're at.

When you just start to really understand it, it really brings a new perspective to the little things that help keep this discipline tuned up high, right?

People, a lot of times they think, you know, I'm gonna be disciplined, I'm gonna go out and run 100 miles.

That's not how that works, dude.

It is little things compounded over time that you know need to be done and doing them.

It's not just keeping promises to yourself, which is what everybody likes to say.

It's about identifying how it actually works and then operating within those rules.

And most people just overlook it.

And that's why they find themselves sometimes at a very high place and then a very low place.

But I could tell you as someone who has...

developed a very very strong bank account with discipline before i really understood that i was in the same boat as this person was i would get get good get bad get good get bad things would go well then they would go bad and i kind of thought it was just like up to the universe like things are going well now things are going bad now i've got momentum now oh i don't have momentum

When you start to realize that you're in control of all of that, the game changes.

And honestly, this is why the book is such a good resource, the book on mental toughness, because it really explains this in depth.

To the other point that he made about always feeling behind, look, dude, ambitious people are gonna always feel behind.

They're gonna always feel like they're struggling.

They're gonna always feel like they're not doing enough.
