Discipline isn’t about punishment, it’s about love. The best romance novel you’ll ever read is the one you write with your own discipline. Every person you look up to is disciplined to something, so what are you committed to? Discipline is exchanging what your future self wants for what your right now self wants, and it’s the key to freedom, consistency and success.

We’ll break down how legends like Kobe Bryant, Nick Saban, David Goggins and Jocko Willink define discipline and why it separates the great from the mediocre.

Weekly challenge: Choose one area of your life to practice discipline daily for the next week. Some examples—wake up at 6am five days this week, read 10 minutes every day, or make your bed every morning. Pick one and stick to it.
