Stay disciplined even when faced with temptations from "summary" of Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink
When the temptations come - as they always do - will you maintain your discipline? Will you stick to your plan, your path, your goals? Or will you be swayed by the siren song of comfort, ease, pleasure, and rest? The choice is yours. It always is. But make no mistake, the consequences of that choice are also yours. If you give in to the temptations, if you take the easy road, if you choose comfort over growth, ease over discipline, pleasure over business, then you will suffer an immediate consequence. You will be weaker. You will be less experienced, less resilient, less capable, less confident. And that weakness will grow. It will seep into other areas of your life. It will spread like a virus. You will be infected. And that infection will spread until it consumes you. Until you are a shell of what you could have been. Until you are a shadow of your potential. But if you resist the temptations, if you stay disciplined, if you choose the hard road, if you embrace discomfort, if you prioritize business over pleasure, then you will suffer an immediate consequence as well. You will be stronger. You will be more experienced, more resilient, more capable, more confident. And that strength will grow. It will spread into other areas of your life. It will radiate like a beacon. You will be fortified. And that fortification will spread until it uplifts you. Until you are a monument of what you could have been. Until you are a testament to your potential. It's a simple choice, really. A binary decision. A fork in the road. Left or right. Up or down. Weakness or strength. The easy way or the hard way. Comfort or growth. The path of least resistance or the path of discipline. And it all comes down to this - will you stay disciplined even when faced with temptations? Will you choose the hard road, the road less traveled, the road to greatness? Or will you choose the easy road, the road well-worn, the road to mediocrity? The choice is yours. But remember, the consequences are also yours. So choose wisely. And choose now.
