Discipline over time creates freedom
We all want to know what the secret is to becoming an overnight success.
From reclaiming our health to winning the lottery, it seems as though our society is obsessed with the next invention that will suddenly eliminate all of our problems and give us the manufactured idea of a life with zero problems.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as an overnight success in any arena of our life.
If anything this is a dangerous manufactured fairy tale that we need to avoid at all costs.
The truth is: Health, Finances, Relationships…all of it requires a price.
And when we discuss price, there are two truths to consider.
The price on anything worthwhile is more expensive than you will ever know.
The time on anything worthwhile will take longer than you ever estimate.
For most of us, we choose the cheapest price and the quickest fix.
In the long run, the principle of time is exposed here and you will find yourself up shit creek without a paddle after years of making these choices.
For the select few, we embrace the success equation presented at the beginning of this email.
Discipline/Time = Freedom.
This equation comes from the Navy Seal: Jocko.
The principle is simple.
If you want to cultivate a life of health, wealth, and happiness (what many of us call freedom) you have to be incredibly disciplined for a long period of time.
There is no finish line.
There is no arrival point.
The truth is, the game is never over.
The truth is, the quicker you can embrace the success equation in every area of your life, the quicker you will be on the path to achieving your goals.
Constant dedication and discipline is the only path.
When you find yourself without a paddle, maybe it is time to reevaluate your discipline and commitment so you can break free from the slavery state you have created by your own poor choices.
Discipline over time.
Freedom.
