Hi, my name is Lewis Howes, and welcome to The Daily Motivation Show.
The thing is, can you teach discipline? The answer is yes. You have to have a willing participant. And if the participants reason why is big enough, if they know I want to achieve X and the reason why the motive for their action, motivation, the motive for their action is a reason beyond just themselves, chances are they will do more. to achieve that success than if it was just left up to their own. But there are some people that are born, you know, with incredible drive. They just have this insatiable drive and they'll just, I'll do whatever it takes for the things that I want. And there's other people that want things, but they just don't have this insatiable drive. And this is where in the game of life, whether it's health, wealth, relationships, career, business, spirituality, fun experiences, you have to decide what level of the game do I want to play at?
Mm-hmm.
How can discipline be taught for success?
Is it the grade school level, the kindergarten level, the high school level, the university level, the pro level? Because each one of those levels requires a totally different mindset and totally different skill set. They're building blocks on each other. But if you are extremely talented, but you're not prepared to practice and rehearse and drill and fall and fail forward to the next attempt, you will never make it as a pro. You will never make it as a pro business person. You'll never make it as a pro husband or wife or athlete or musician. You just never will. So just get used to that if you're not prepared to pay the price. If you are prepared to pay the price and you have the aptitude and the talent, now we're talking about there's some real potential here.
And what we don't know is, you know, what's in your heart? Like, what is the fire that stirs you that you wake up saying, I will do this even when I don't feel like it. I will do whatever it takes to overcome my temptation for mediocrity, my temptation for excuses, my temptation for reasons and circumstances to hold me back. I won't allow those to be in my way.
Hmm.
And if you have that within you, you'll achieve whatever you choose. And so the question you asked before is how do you develop that? Start small. So if you don't have discipline, show yourself that you can give yourself one command and one follow through. So you know what? Right now I'm going to get up and I'm going to do two pushups. Right now, not like later, now. Can you give yourself a simple command, one sit-up? Right now, I'm going to go get a glass of water. You start with something ridiculous. I learned many years ago, reduce it to the ridiculous. So for reduce it to the ridiculous, and I start, I say, can you do that? Great. Will you? Because that's the difference right there is that's the razor's edge.
The people who can.
Will you? Will you? Yeah. Great. When? Now. Now. Yeah. Right. So if you develop that skill specifically from a brain plasticity, a neuroplasticity perspective, as soon as you do that, you give yourself a command and you take the action. You have just created a neural pattern that you can give yourself a command and take action. Now, that may just be one time. Well, what if you did that every hour by putting a little bell on your computer? Every hour it would say, it's 12 o'clock. It's 1 o'clock.
What mindset is required to achieve different levels of success?
And I take 60 seconds. Just to be in control of my mind. I don't care where I am. Stop, take six breaths. Just get centered. Am I on track? Am I off track? Am I doing something I shouldn't be doing versus a high impact activity that I need to be doing? Every hour, I've trained myself to just reset. I didn't always do that. So I just started with... One a day. Right. Then two. Sure. Then three. Then it was working so well, I said, great, let's do this every hour. But more importantly is as soon as you become the person who believes in themselves, you see, everything you do or don't do leaves an imprint on your self-worth and self-esteem scale. And you know it. Absolutely. You know it. You're voting with every decision.
