“No person is free who cannot command themselves.” ~ Pythagoras

"Who Is In Control?"

This November, H2G - Habits 2 Goals challenges you to ask one crucial question:

Who is in control?

Discipline is a Habit

“Nobody is born disciplined. It’s something you cultivate.”

Discipline is not an inborn trait.

Like any habit, discipline is cultivated through practice, it’s a habit/skill anyone can develop over time. (see Behavior Echo-System 👇)

Self-Mastery and Freedom

True freedom results from self-mastery— to choose one’s response rather than reacting impulsively.

The decision to practice discipline leads to greater freedom and autonomy.

“The choice of discipline and diligence produces freedom."

The Behavior Echo-System

Your behaviors don’t occur in a vacuum—they’re part of your “Behavior Echo-System.” Everyone has their own behavior echo-system – an interconnected set of influencers that includes one’s environment, thoughts (stories), and emotions.
