00:00
I’ve never met a person who was not
00:02
successful that didn’t have a great
00:04
amount of self-discipline within their
00:06
life self-discipline and being able to
00:10
perform and being able to keep your life
00:13
on schedule and being able to keep
00:15
commitments and promises and meet
00:17
deadlines is essential to success
00:20
none of us none of us can afford to have
00:23
a life that is controlled by someone
00:26
else
00:27
or a life that is basically controlled
00:29
by our emotions I learned many years ago
00:32
that there are two kinds of people
00:34
there’s the type of person who says I’m
00:36
going to wait till I feel like it before
00:38
I do it and then there’s person who says
00:40
I’ve got to do it so that I feel like it
00:43
one will never get anything done because
00:46
they’re still waiting to feel the moment
00:48
to move when the other person says no I
00:50
need to move and then I will begin to
00:52
feel the moment Sonia self-discipline is
00:56
essential in your life and in my life if
00:59
we’re going to get things done so I have
01:02
a challenge for every one of you this
01:03
weekend the challenge is simple as you
01:06
go through your weekend and sometimes
01:08
it’s kind of a hopefully an easier time
01:11
of your week ask yourself am i
01:15
practicing self-discipline in my life am
01:18
i doing the things that I should do
01:19
because I need to do them or am I kind
01:22
of waiting to feel the moment do like
01:25
our friends Nike say just do it
01:30
[Music]
01:33
close to the lumen being I think
01:37
discipline is very important very
01:39
important that discipline is relative
01:42
and especially with which you can work
01:45
together with young players and yet
01:49
never lose the target and I don’t know
01:54
how to say that never lose the target
01:56
always need to stay focused on it and so
01:58
that that’s pretty clear because that
01:59
and always am yeah think it’s still
02:05
possible have you ever struggled to be
02:10
more disciplined you know you got that
02:13
paper due next week but you don’t do
02:15
anything all week even though you know
02:16
it’s coming or are you set up a brand
02:18
new habit you’re so excited about you
02:20
know can improve your life your
02:21
relationships or your work but you don’t
02:24
stick to it or you started that workout
02:26
routine and you got really pumped up
02:28
fired up into it you lost a couple
02:30
pounds but then you know three weeks
02:31
later it was gone and what did you blame
02:33
he blamed your discipline he’s a guy I
02:36
wish I was more disciplined and
02:37
everything would be great and the
02:39
reality is it’s true you know discipline
02:42
is one of the most important things we
02:44
can develop in our lives because without
02:46
that ability to be sort of self-reliant
02:49
and willful to get things done on a
02:52
continual basis we never get that great
02:54
amount of momentum and progress towards
02:57
what we really want and I bet there’s a
02:59
lot of areas of your life that could
03:01
really benefit from being more
03:02
disciplined whether you’re eating
03:03
healthier or working out more often or
03:05
being more disciplined about doing your
03:07
art on a consistent basis or
03:09
contributing or even being more
03:11
disciplined about just speaking up for
03:12
yourself when you know that you should
03:14
so how can we help you find a goal and
03:18
be more disciplined that’s the topic of
03:20
this video now I’m going to assume a
03:22
little bit that because there’s gonna be
03:24
a short video I want to make sure that
03:25
you have something in mind that you want
03:26
to be more disciplined to so think about
03:28
a major dream or a major ambition that
03:31
for some reason you’re like gosh I wish
03:33
I really stuck with my sort of actions
03:35
and routines more often if you can have
03:38
that in mind that this is going to
03:39
really start
03:39
I have four ideas for you today the
03:41
first idea is to emotionally engage with
03:45
that dream each morning of your life see
03:51
a lot of people don’t actually struggle
03:53
with the discipline part in terms of the
03:54
doing the thing it’s that they are not
03:58
getting revved up to do the thing in
04:00
other words we got a problem with
04:01
motivation not necessarily just
04:04
discipline we have a problem with that
04:06
once in a while you hit it you do it you
04:08
do the work but a lot of times you fall
04:10
off because you’re not emotionally
04:12
engaged in it it’s like if you want a
04:14
lot of discipline you need a high level
04:16
of emotional connection and focus on
04:19
that thing that you want to work towards
04:21
so every morning what I want you to do
04:23
is just start a new visualization
04:24
practice when you wake up in the morning
04:26
close your eyes think about the dream
04:29
the aspiration the thing that you’re
04:31
really after in life and just visualize
04:34
it and really get yourself emotionally
04:36
attached emotionally engage with it
04:38
think about how great it will feel for
04:41
you to have that thing or be that thing
04:43
or contribute that thing to make that
04:45
difference just think about it allow it
04:48
to well up in your heart a little bit
04:49
get excited about it remember the dream
04:52
that’s why we get away from discipline
04:54
because we’re so busy with the chaos to
04:56
the world that we emotionally are no
04:58
longer attached in a way that our brain
05:01
says hey man focus on this it’s
05:03
important to you remember so if your
05:06
heart is disengaged it’s difficult to
05:09
stay disciplined so every morning make
05:13
it a practice to actually just imagine
05:16
the payoff the benefit the contribution
05:19
the art the thing that you do and are
05:22
doing and do contribute if you can do
05:24
that more often you’ll be more fired up
05:26
and you’ll stay back on track the second
05:29
thing is we’ve got to handle that chaos
05:32
that we talked about so I need you to do
05:34
your work before you respond to the
05:38
world it’s the number one thing I’m
05:40
always telling people in high
05:41
performance Academy and all my other
05:42
training sessions is if you are
05:44
constantly waking up in the morning and
05:46
all you do is just reply to everybody
05:48
and your time their text you’re applying
05:50
to their needs you’re applying their
05:51
emails all of the day is
05:53
ripped away and you find yourself out of
05:55
your own routine but if you set up your
05:58
morning to men or you set up blocks of
06:00
time to win as we’ll talk about and you
06:03
do that first do your work first it’s
06:06
easier to say discipline if you’re
06:08
saying you know this year I want to you
06:10
know next month I want to be more
06:12
healthy great get your health stuff out
06:14
of the way in the morning you know
06:16
create your shake do your workout create
06:19
a healthy lunch to take to work and
06:20
you’re off and go into a good start but
06:23
if you wait for the remainder of the day
06:26
for discipline to strike it never will
06:28
the third thing is what we call block
06:31
time you need to have scheduled blocks
06:34
of time where that discipline happens
06:36
every day
06:36
and that’s the only thing that happens
06:38
look you can always do something every
06:41
day towards your dream and if you
06:43
believe that you can be just something
06:45
small it could be doing a little bit of
06:46
research journaling
06:48
taking that action creating that
06:50
presentation making that call whatever
06:52
it is for you you can do something every
06:55
day and if you believe that then you
06:57
need time to do that and that time what
07:00
we call block time you say okay today
07:02
from 1 o’clock to 3 o’clock I’m only
07:05
doing this thing that I need more
07:07
discipline towards and during that time
07:09
you don’t check your email you don’t do
07:11
your Facebook you don’t browse the
07:13
internet all that happens during that
07:16
time is what you’re supposed to be doing
07:18
the reason a lot of people don’t have
07:20
discipline in their life is they’re
07:22
letting their day be ruled by randomness
07:26
they don’t have blocks of time to have
07:28
actually been scheduled to do the thing
07:30
they’re supposed to do so they’re
07:32
counting on sudden will oh you know I’ll
07:34
get to that today or I’ll get to that
07:36
someday and of course some day turns
07:38
into never and then they start blaming
07:39
their discipline it’s not their
07:41
discipline it’s the lack of a calendar
07:43
that says do this now so schedule what
07:47
you must make happen and you’ll suddenly
07:49
find yourself wow I’m so disciplined and
07:51
then the last piece is you got to set up
07:54
some social rewards you know it’s hard
07:58
to say discipline it’s something if
07:59
you’re never getting any payoff
08:01
from we can take that first step I told
08:05
you about about visualizing something
08:06
but if you get some small wins along the
08:09
way and you’re never celebrating with
08:10
other people then your brain says ah
08:13
this isn’t benefiting me and I really
08:16
mean that you have to do with other
08:17
people you have to have that that that
08:19
that connection with others to celebrate
08:22
to keep your will intact to keep doing
08:25
the thing you’re supposed to be doing
08:26
it’s so important for you to do this you
08:29
know if you’re a writer and you know you
08:31
finish the chapter call a friend say hey
08:34
you know I finished the chapter I
08:35
supposed to finish today let’s go out
08:36
for a drink if you if you accomplished
08:39
something at work you said you were
08:40
going to do get everybody together say
08:42
hey you know what lunch is on me today
08:43
let me take care you guys for lunch
08:44
if you finally achieved something that
08:47
you’ve been working towards for so long
08:50
you need to take some time to go out
08:53
with friends and family and just talk
08:54
about the process talk about them how it
08:56
felt to finally complete this thing see
09:00
if we’re never celebrating you’re never
09:03
going to develop real discipline and
09:05
it’s funny because too many people think
09:07
those are office of things they think
09:08
discipline can’t be fun that the
09:10
discipline can’t be joyful but the
09:13
Masters of this life have proven that
09:15
doing things in a disciplined way can
09:17
also be doing things in a joyful way and
09:20
if you think discipline has to be the
09:22
hard awful terrible thing
09:23
maybe you’re never going to have
09:26
discipline because you’re constantly
09:27
trying to fool yourself and doing things
09:29
you don’t want to do and it’s time to
09:31
find the things that you do want to do
09:33
it’s time to connect to those
09:35
emotionally to visualize those to get
09:37
other people to the party with you to
09:39
celebrate to do the things that really
09:41
matter which is block the time to make
09:43
the dang thing happen if you’ll do these
09:45
things you’ll start to find yourself
09:47
much more discipline and on your way to
09:49
living what we call the charge left oh
09:51
my dad always mm we’re going up that if
09:54
you end a dollar you don’t save anything
09:59
if you end end it billion dollar you
10:01
will save anything
10:02
and so that discipline of investment
10:08
keeping something don’t consume
10:10
everything you get actually helped me
10:12
significantly
10:18
somebody said with a little discipline
10:21
you do little things with a lot of
10:24
discipline you do a lot of things and we
10:26
start to discipline there is nothing
10:28
which you cannot do it requires a lot of
10:31
discipline I mean obviously because
10:33
you’re going to move from one world to
10:35
the other from one culture to the other
10:36
from two completely different company
10:38
yeah jet LAG’s organization people are
10:41
expecting you when you come down from a
10:43
plane after 14 hours flight to be fresh
10:46
and ready for them but they are not
10:48
expecting the CEO to come and say oh my
10:50
god is jet lag you cannot answer a
10:52
question they want you to be on the go
10:54
all the time so this requires a lot of
10:57
discipline you have to organize yourself
10:58
if you know you’re going to do this job
11:01
and you accept the job you have to
11:02
organize yourself in order to do it it’s
11:05
tough but there is a solution there is
11:07
there is a solution for it but it
11:08
requires a lot of choices personal
11:10
choices there are a lot of things you
11:12
cannot do you know there are lots of
11:13
things you can do but you’re going to do
11:15
them within a certain order but
11:17
particularly with a lot with a lot of
11:20
discipline
11:29
you
