Discipline Is The Reward
Apr 13, 2021
I have read from many Limitless Leaders that the journey is the enjoyment not the destination. However I have never quite heard it like Arthur Brooks mentioned on a podcast with Ryan Holiday, that the Disciplie Is The Reward. This is very profound.
Discipline Is The Reward
Arthur Brooks
Especially now, as I type these words late at night after a full 14 hour day. My mind saying it will be OK to just not publish tomorrow. The voice inside telling me who is going to notice anyway? Who is going to care that you set out to publish daily? The Ego lifting its head and reminding me that at best only 2-3 people like your post, what difference does it make? Go chill and rest, you deserve it. You worked hard today. You were productive. You gave to your team, your teammates, your clients, your company. Time to take time for you.
Any Limitless Leader has had those similar thoughts, at least those I have read about and talked with. This is the reality of the Journey. 20 years ago, I had set out to define the values as my kids were still very young. I wanted to share with them the meaning of the Values that are dear to my heart.
Discipline is one of the seven values and the definition is:
Doing the things you have to do when you least want to do them.
Kang Family Value
For each of the values, I had assigned a role model as well. For discipline, it was Michael Jordan. Why? Because of the stories of his childhood where he skipped the high school dances to perfect his craft. DISCIPLINE.
All Limitless Leaders are human not robots. They do fight those feelings of not wanting to do something they know must be done. In the end, by fighting their inner demons they discover that the Reward after all Is In The Discipline.
If interesting, please like. If valuable, please share.
Mahalo for being part of the Journey!!!
