    It's cool how this works: Sin, lusts and whatnot may seem like your best friend, but in fact they are your worst enemy. Discipline may seem like your worst enemy, but indeed it is your best friend.

      Wingnut Mcspazatron I find that disciplining myself against these traits: gluttony, lust, sloth, envy, anger, greed and pride; help me live a better overall life.
      You will notice your life feel like heaven on earth when you master the opposite of those 7 traits.
      Pride is the hardest to figure out because everyone says “take pride in your work”... pride can be good until it gets out of control and you start shaming everyone around you for not being as good as you are at the task at hand. You are meant to be like Christ and have compassion for others, not to shame them and belittle them for not being more like you. Everyone has demons or sins that they deal with and maybe the one you are shaming is a victim of Sloth. It’s like shaming someone for being spiritually ill or under Sloth attack. That is my take on pride.

      If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery--isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is.

      Why can’t discipline be pleasurable? If you fall in love with discipline, every disciplined act becomes pleasurable because the benefits are palpable, you can smell and taste the benefits. Keep a positive mindset (e.g. be hopeful, look towards the good instead of the bad, love and accept yourself above all else unconditionally). If discipline means “I’ll never have fun again,” a person won’t do it. However, if discipline means: “I will be more reliable for my friends and family, stronger, less stressed, more positive, able to truly have fun etc. ” then it is highly likely a person will be more disciplined.

    It's crazy because once you find a good disciplined routine and regiment for your life that works for you you don't want it to stop, and if you stop (at least I find) it resets. To illustrate. For the past month I had been on this really good routine and my discipline was building momentum, I was feeling good. Since I am preparing for the military I was fired up and accomplishing probably more than I ever really have. 2 days ago my best friend invited me to spend a night at his house. We drank, played videogames, and laughed our asses off, we slept until late in the night and woke up a little later than I usually would, usually I wake up at 6 AM and I'm in bed by 10 at least. Those two night I ended up spending at his house I did not study, I did not work out, nor read, It was some "time off" I thought. Came back home last night and I found myself in a completely different state of mind. It's almost as if my discipline momentum I had reset, and now I have to build it up again. Now this I don't mind at all, I think this is what Jocko means when he says that the goal should not be getting to the end of something, the goal should be doing the thing itself. Everytime your discipline, your homework, you assignments, your work, your day, your life even resets, use that as motivation to keep pushing forward and to exercise your discipline. Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm in a hurry and just wanted to pour some thoughts that came to mind while listening to this video. Will probably fix it later, maybe not, I don't care. Now go out there and GET SOME. Out

    You should write a book on discipline. Please consider it, I would read it!

    Discipline means you suffer, now, to not have to suffer later in a way you dont want to suffer

      Use great ideas to build yourself into a man of strength and character, a man of your word, skilful and with a greater purpose that serves the ones around you as well.
      If you enjoy ideas about masculinity and mastery, I invite you to explore the videos I share on the Mastery Order Channel.
      Challenge yourself with some concepts about manhood, explore your masculine potential to the maximum and become the kind of man you would admire.
      We can only better ourselves together, as men among men, so I invite you to use what I share and, of course, share your own opinions so that others can benefit from them as well.
      Looking forward to your points of view.
      All the best to you!
