Why I would choose Discipline, again and again?
I value freedom the most, everything I did was for freedom, still it’s all about freedom and and I love discipline because it is what allows me to conquer over my mind, it is what allows me to……..
I used to have the most unhealthiest of lifestyles.
I used to smoke, drink, eat unhealthy, sleep at around 2 am, etc.
I also used to binge-watch and play video games.
I hardly did anything productive in my life.
Other than that,
I was also very lost and confused in life; I had no idea what to do with my career, I had no vision, no purpose, and no plans for the future.
The funny part about this is that I am not even exaggerating; in fact, I am not sharing all the other stupid things I used to do.
From having this lifestyle, I went on to become the most disciplined person I knew. I started to wake up at 5AM, journal, run, read, eat healthy, meditate, etc.
Little by little, I got rid of most of my unhealthy habits.
I understood what I really wanted in my life. I started walking in that direction.
I found the work I really really love and enjoy. I found my meaning and purpose.
I cannot talk enough about how my life has changed, how I think, how I act, what I eat, almost everything has changed and I only keep on growing, strength to strength.
Yes, and it happened because of my desire and commitment to stay disciplined.
Yes, I gave up on watching late night fooball(UCL) matches.
I gave up on going to Pubs and Bars.
I gave up on chatting late night.
I gave up on partying with my friends and roam around late night.
(And a part of me really used to enjoy all of these things)
I gave up on many pleasures of life that most people at 23 wouldn’t even think about leaving, and tbh, I never missed anything, because nothing was more satisfying and real than waking up early and going for a run,
And
Witnessing the silence and beauty of morning, penning down my thoughts everyday, getting comfortable with being alone, sitting for hours and creating a piece of art and little by little working on every fear or resistance I have.
I have made 1000s of different choices over and over again, and I will always choose a disciplined life, than a life of short-term pleasure. And that has made all the difference.
But why?
Because, I value freedom the most, everything I did was for freedom, still it’s all about freedom and and I love discipline because it is what allows me to conquer over my mind, it is what allows me to play the the long-term game.
It is what allows me to be at my best, and when I am at my best, I am fucking free, I flow, I am at ease and I can deal with any kind of negativity or challenge.
Discipline is the most effective transformative tool out there, and there has never been a time in my life when I haven’t enjoyed it, yes it can be very hard at times, and that’s when it’s even more fulfilling and satisfying, because than I had to rise to a level of ‘being’ that earlier I had no access to.
Here is one more thing you need to know about discipline,
If you are on a healing journey, and you still don’t have a morning and night routine, trust me, it’s always going to be a struggle.
So much of the healing journey is about creating a lifestyle that would bring the best out of you.
So, if you are not able to prioritize discipline, here are few questions to reflect on,
1.) What is it that is creating the “resistance” in me to become the most disciplined version of me?
2.) What is it, that I am going to miss if I had more discipline in my life, do I really need it?
3.) How would my life look like in 3 years, if I am consistent with my discipline?
4.) What am I seeking outwards, and running away from my feelings, that is stopping me to become disciplined?
I wish you meet the most disciplined version of you in 2025. Cheers to that.
If you are struggling with discipline and consistency, here are two thing you can do,
1.) DM/comment ‘consistency,’ and get a free E-Book to guide you through the mindset, beliefs, whys and hows of building consistency.
2.) DM/comment ‘warrior’ and get details of the Men’s retreat we are doing in February(15th feb-21st Feb). (Sorry, this is only for Men)
