How does daily discipline beat motivation in fitness and life?

Unknown 0:00
The person who goes to the gym every single day, regardless of how they feel, will always beat the person who goes to the gym when they feel like going to the gym.

It is astounding how many people want to be spectacular in life but also want to fit in and be normal. You are, by definition, aiming for average. Normal people get normal results. Weird people get weird results. You literally can't do what everyone else does and not expect to get what everyone else has. By doing what everyone else does, you guarantee average results. Just get up. Move towards that challenge, whatever that challenge is. move towards that challenge, and go attack it. And guess what? I had to get up even though it was hard, and I had to take ownership of my life, take ownership of my time, take ownership of my day. What I have found is that when you take that kind of action, that kind of step of following your gut and your intuition, taking that step, whatever it is, the universe has a funny way of meeting you halfway.

Fellas, winners fail a million times. What makes them a winner is that they believe in it. They're headstrong. Nothing's going to stop them. The spectators have tried it and failed it and remain sitting down. They don't get up anymore because they don't believe it enough. The naysayers' disbelief overrides their ability, potential, and mental capacity that they can't be more than that. When the rest of the world shut you down, you woke up the next day and you said, I got this. I do this. I breathe this. I am this. You can't stop me. Like, I'm going to be the baddest mother for walking. Man up, stop crying. The decisions you make right now is up to you. You crying about something that happened to you when you was a kid.

You ain't even no kid no more. You a grown man. Take full ownership. The stupid stuff you doing, your parents didn't make you play no video games. And what you crying about? So what your daddy wasn't there? What you crying about? You ain't 10 no more. Man up.

So I had to learn to man up very quickly. And I think that was an edge because I had to learn how to make money. I had to learn how to make friends. I had to learn how to fight. I had to learn how to defend myself.

I had to learn how to defend my family. When our back's against the wall, you have the instinct to want to protect your family. You see, all the instincts are in here. It's pulling those instincts out. And sometimes to pull out the right instincts requires some travesty or crisis or challenges to go through. So human up. Get up and get on it because the weak will struggle. Success is reserved for those that are the strongest. And so every time I would need to pull the trigger on something and there was resistance and reluctance, those five words, it's time to man up. And then I would do it. And you need to have the courage to follow through. Quit half-assing yourself. Every time I've risen the standards, people have made me feel guilty that maybe I'm raising it too high.
Denzel Washington 3:04
Maybe I'm too tough on my guys. Maybe I'm too edgy and I expect everybody to step up and man up and woman up. Maybe I'm a little too demanding. Maybe I shouldn't raise my standards to this level. Don't let them confuse you. You keep raising the standard. And guess what? I had to get up even though it was hard. And I had to take ownership of my life, take ownership of my time, take ownership of my day. Sometimes, man, we really got to teach ourselves how to be a man. Along that journey, we'll bump our head and then learn a lesson. You know, dig deep and do what you have to do. It's time to man up and become a man.

Let the mind be bold. The difference is how do you look at it? How do you approach it? How do you deal with it? How do you admit it and see it for what it is? And then what do you do about it? What do you do about it? You cry about it? You mope about it? You drink about it. You sleep around about it. You get mad and get in fights about it. You just hang around. Just turn the world out. Just zombie about it. You fry yourself a marijuana about it.
