You don’t need more discipline to create lasting change. Willpower is overrated, misunderstood, and often blamed for struggles that really come down to stress, environment, and misaligned goals. Too many people beat themselves up with “shoulds” or rely on shame as fuel, only to spiral into guilt and inconsistency, when the truth is that discipline isn’t a sudden switch to flip—it’s a gradual practice cultivated through supportive environments, intrinsic motivation, and small, sustainable steps. Fueling change with joy, self-compassion, and purpose works far better than white-knuckling your way through life.
