Discipline is the highest form of self love
...lack of discipline is akin to self-harm
“Discipline equals freedom.” Jocko Willink
Discipline is not a punishment. It is a vote for your future self.
Every time you knock off a task you said you would do.
Every time you choose the long road instead of the shortcut.
Every time you honour your own word.
You are training your brain to deliver when it matters.
Research has shown that people who build self regulation perform better.
They build habits.
They build momentum.
They build self respect.
Now the real part.
Lack of discipline feels comfortable in the moment.
We tell a story.
We create a reason.
We justify an excuse.
We dress avoidance up as a priority.
We blame someone else.
We pretend it was out of our hands.
As a behavioural profiler for 20years across multiple disciplines,
I do not just think people are bullshitting.
I know when they are.
But here is the truth you already know.
It does not matter what I think.
I do not have to live with your excuses.
You do.
In your quiet moments YOU know the truth.
- It was not a lack of time.
- It was a lack of discipline.
- It was not a tough situation.
- It was avoidance.
- It was not bad luck.
- It was self sabotage.
If discipline is the highest form of self love
Then lack of discipline is the most painful torture.
It is self harm done slowly.
It is death by a thousand broken promises to yourself.
The gap between what you say and what you do
- That gap is where confidence dies.
- That gap is where self belief erodes.
- That gap is where your potential goes to rot.
Discipline is not strict.
- It is kind.
- It says I value myself.
- I believe in my future.
- I honour my own word.
So choose discipline.
Choose self love.
Choose the life you know you are capable of building.
Because the alternative is living with the version of yourself you know you betrayed
...and who wants to live with someone that betrays them constantly?
