Discipline sucks. Nobody likes waking up at the crack of dawn, making their bed, doing laundry, or going to the gym every day. It’s easier to sleep in, procrastinate, and do something that gives you a little dopamine rush.
But these short-lived dopamine hits wreak havoc on your life. They make you miserable. They cripple your confidence. And they make you chase the next dopamine rush.
Discipline fixes this. Yes, it sucks in the moment. But nothing gives you more happiness, confidence, and fulfillment than ruthless discipline.
