  Welcome to the Listening Time podcast.

• 00:03

  Hey, everybody.

• 00:04

  This is Connor, and you're listening to episode 152 of the Listening Time podcast.

• 00:13

  I hope you're all doing great.

• 00:16

  You might be able to hear that the birds are chirping outside.

• 00:22

  We use the word chirp to refer to the sound that birds make when they sing.

• 00:32

  So the birds are chirping.

• 00:34

  And I think you've probably heard that in several of my episodes.

• 00:41

  I hope that you don't mind.

• 00:43

  I like it.

• 00:44

  I think that it adds some good background noise.

• 00:50

  And whenever I hear birds chirping in the morning, it motivates me.

• 00:58

  It makes me want to have a good day and just enjoy that morning and that day.

• 01:08

  So it provides a little bit of motivation for me.

• 01:14

  And speaking of motivation, we're going to talk about motivation and discipline in today's episode.

• 01:23

  I mentioned this in both of the last two episodes, I mentioned this topic, but now I want to dedicate a whole episode to this topic because I think it's a really interesting subject to explore in more detail in a deeper way.

• 01:48

  Because a lot of people talk about motivation and discipline, especially in the personal development world, and maybe some of you like watching videos or reading books related to personal development.

• 02:11

  And so you've probably heard a lot, a lot about motivation and discipline.

• 02:17

  And I'm going to offer a slightly different opinion than the opinion that you usually hear when people talk about these two things.

• 02:31

  So I think this will be interesting today.
