1. 0:00is and I love the process, but it's a
2. 0:02lot. And I started just thinking about
3. 0:04the entire day this morning. I'm sitting
4. 0:06out here having a little bit of
5. 0:10a little bit of caffeine trying to p
6. 0:11myself up and I'm like, [ __ ] man. What
7. 0:14a day. I was like, you know what? Maybe
8. 0:16I just do cardio, skip everything else
9. 0:20cuz I'm tired.
10. 0:22And then I started thinking about uh
11. 0:25then I started thinking about you know
12. 0:28you start negotiating with yourself
13. 0:30and when you negotiate with yourself
14. 0:34you can make any negotiation
15. 0:37work out in your favor because you're
16. 0:39negotiating with yourself. So I start
17. 0:41negotiating. I'm like all right I'm
18. 0:43[ __ ] tired. It's only Tuesday. I got
19. 0:46to listen to my body. You know, all my
20. 0:48life I was brought up and and and
21. 0:52trained to listen to your body. Let pain
22. 0:54be your guide. Sometimes you get through
23. 0:56it. Sometimes you really got to listen.
24. 0:59Take a seat. And uh then I I thought of
25. 1:03I thought of the difference between
26. 1:05motivation and discipline.
27. 1:08And I had learned this a long time ago.
28. 1:11And you know the big difference,
29. 1:14what would you rather be, motivated or
30. 1:15disciplined? And I used to choose a long
31. 1:18time ago motivation. But then I realized
32. 1:21the the greater power is in discipline
33. 1:24because motivation can be fleeting.
34. 1:28Motivation
35. 1:30is the noise. You know, I can do it. I'm
36. 1:33going to go run through a wall, you
37. 1:35know, grind, grind, grind. No days off.
38. 1:38Let's go.
39. 1:40Uh motivation is the noise, but
40. 1:41discipline is the voice. And discipline
41. 1:45is the voice that is like right behind
42. 1:47your rib cage. And it's the one that
43. 1:50will that will say you can listen to
44. 1:53your body and you could take a rest.
45. 1:55Sure. Um no one will know.
46. 1:58But you'll know and you know right now
47. 2:03if you can do it, you know. So that's
48. 2:06how my negotiation went. I was like,
49. 2:08"All right,
50. 2:09[ __ ] it. Let's do this." But if your dog
51. 2:14tired on a Tuesday or any day that ends
52. 2:16with why and you start questioning, man,
53. 2:19I you know, I got to get get up, get the
54. 2:21kids ready for school, get them out, try
55. 2:23and go work out, then go to work, come
56. 2:25back. Uh, you know, responsibilities
57. 2:29when you get back home. I get it. Got to
58. 2:31pay the bills, do the thing we do. Um,
59. 2:34just try and remember that the
60. 2:35difference between motivation and
61. 2:37discipline. And motivation is amazing
62. 2:40and we get a lot of [ __ ] done. We
63. 2:42accomplish a lot of great stuff when
64. 2:44we're motivated. But motivation is the
65. 2:46noise. Good and sometimes a little
66. 2:49cloudy, but discipline is always the
67. 2:52voice. It's always the gut voice that
68. 2:56will never ever steal you wrong. Ever.
