5 分钟Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
How do we train our minds and our body to be motivated towards a goal and not stay lazy?
Well, at first it's know thyself because we're all different.
So one of the attributes I talk about in the book is discipline.
And what I had to do with discipline was actively separate discipline from self-discipline.
The difference is that self-discipline is internally focused.
Self-discipline is about managing oneself and it has very little to do with external requirements.
So you or I can decide to get in shape, for example,
and we can change our diet, we can work out every day.
The external environment doesn't have a lot of say in that, in us achieving that accomplishment.
So self-discipline is about managing the internal.
Discipline The way I talk about in the book is about achieving that long-term goal.
These are those long-term goals that are going to take a while to achieve and the external world has a say.
So getting that promotion, writing that book, becoming the famous singer,
becoming Navy Seal, the external world has a say in whether or not you do that.
And the discipline that is required to move through those wickets takes adaptability,
it takes flexibility,
it takes the ability to not get seduced by the highs, the successes,
and not get crushed by the failures and continue to move towards that goal.
I'm a very unself-disciplined person.
