Discipline is something that continually is talked more and more about it seems. These days, it's not uncommon to step out of your house and see everyone else in public just staring into their iPhones.
It's important that you understand the opportunity cost associated with wasting time.
Now, not everyone is wasting time when they're on their phone. Not everyone is wasting time on social media. And "wasting" time can actually be beneficial in certain circumstances.
First, let's define what wasting time is:
Wasting time is when you're mindlessly scrolling through social media or even the news for more than 1 hour a day. I think we can all agree that 1 hour of doing this per day is more than enough.
And argument can even be made that 1 hour is too much.
Wasting time is when you're not moving your life forward or being present. Either you're working hard and achieving something or you're being present. If you're not doing 1 of those 2 things, then you're wasting time.
Discipline is something I'm obsessed with. I'm obsessed with disciplining myself for the sake of having discipline in my life... It's as simple as that.
I love forcing myself to do things that make me uncomfortable: working out and sweating, running, lifting weights, cold approaching people, reading, writing, etc...
Doing the things that make you uncomfortable is a pillar to success.
Success requires that you become a better version of yourself, and in order to become better, you have to stretch your comfort zones.
You have to constantly reach for the next zone and keep moving forward and keep doing things that make you more and more uncomfortable!
I challenge you to do 1 thing today that makes you uncomfortable, but that you know is important in your life (go to the gym, talk to someone you see, read, write etc.).
