Discipline is Choosing Between These Two Things

Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most. – Abraham Lincoln

I heard this quote and immediately knew it was going to stick in my head.

Choosing what we want MOST over what we want NOW is one of the biggest keys to success.

Doing the thing we said we’d do, not the thing we feel like doing in the moment is how we get what we want – it’s how we hit all of our goals.

What I want most, is to give more value to my audience on Facebook and Instagram. But what I want now, is to avoid writing, thinking and putting my work out into the world.

So I’ve given myself a challenge this week: I’m going to create/write/work at 6am every morning, before I start my coaching calls around 8 or 9am.

The goal is to wake up, write, publish, and then start my day from there.

Getting the essential work done first.

Wish me discipline!
