I'm willing to bet 90% of people who didn't get where they wanted did so simply because they stopped too early.

Not stopping.

I think also one of the things is people mistake doing something they feel they should be doing instead of doing something that they're obsessed with.

So I've got the difference between discipline, motivation, and obsession.

So discipline is I will make myself do the thing.

Motivation is I want to do the thing.

And obsession is I can't not do the thing.

Sort of climbed inside of you and it's staring out through your eyes.

And what we look at with a lot of people

Now it appears like discipline, but what it is is just the remnant of what was previously an obsession.

Going to the gym, for me, was something that I did because I was obsessed with it.

I wouldn't go on nights out at university because I wanted to stay in and read bodybuilding.com forums to see if this blueberry extract would get me more jacked or whatever the fuck.

And now my training pattern is just...

like the hard rock that's cooled after that lava erupted for a while.

And it looks like discipline from the outside, but it's actually just the remnant of this thing that kind of wore me for a while.

And I don't know whether you have heard me talk about this before, but 90% of podcasts don't make it past episode three.

And of the 10% that do, 90% of them don't make it past to episode 20.

So by making 21 podcasts, you were in the top percentile of all podcasters ever.

Let's go.

We did it.
