I’m a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can’t see any other way of accomplishing anything.
If it turns out that my best wasn’t good enough, at least I won’t look back and say that I was afraid to try; failure makes me work even harder.
Turn up for work. Discipline allows creative freedom. No discipline equals no freedom.
Goals on the road to achievement cannot be achieved without discipline and consistency.
Don’t make excuses for why you can’t get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life.
All writing is discipline, but screenwriting is a drill sergeant.
Hard work and training. There’s no secret formula.
It hurts, but that’s all it does. The most difficult part of the training is training your mind. You build calluses on your feet to endure the road. You build calluses on your mind to endure the pain. There’s only one way to do that. You have to get out there and run.
I don’t stop when I’m tired. I stop when I’m done.
Discipline is giving yourself a command and following it up with action.
Discipline is rarely enjoyable, but almost always profitable.
Discipline is a choice. It’s simply consistently choosing the hard right over the easy wrong.
Discipline equals freedom.
Don’t expect to be motivated every day to get out there and make things happen. You won’t be. Don’t count on motivation. Count on Discipline.
When setting expectations, no matter what has been said or written, if substandard performance is accepted and no one is held accountable – if there are no consequences – that poor performance becomes the new standard.
NO MORE. No more excuses. No more: “I’ll start tomorrow.” No more: “Just this once.” No more accepting the shortfalls of my own will. No more taking the easy road. No more bowing down to whatever unhealthy or unproductive thoughts float through my mind.
But, in fact, discipline is the pathway to freedom.
It’s a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.
The reason it’s important to push hardest when you want to quit the most is because it helps you callous your mind. It’s the same reason why you have to do your best work when you are the least motivated.
