DISCIPLINE

DISCIPLINE IS HOLDING THE LINE WHEN YOU’RE TIRED

Anyone can be disciplined when they feel sharp, energised, and motivated. True discipline appears when you feel the opposite — tired, unfocused, stressed, or low.

Those moments define your identity. They reveal whether your standards depend on conditions or commitment.

Holding the line doesn’t mean pushing yourself to extremes. It means doing the essentials even when your energy drops.

Discipline is maintaining your minimum standard — especially on tired days.

Exercise (5 minutes)

• read 10 pages

• write one paragraph

• clean for 20 minutes

• meditate for 30 breaths

•
