Discipline Gets Things Done - Akira the Don, Joe Rogan, Jocko Willink

The one thing that discipline definitely does help you with

It helps you get things done

And when you get things done, when you actually do things

You have more success

A big part of success is just not being fucking lazy and just doing it

90% of it is just showing up, get there, and start working

Like you’re not gonna feel perfect every day

If I only worked out when I felt good, I’d be a fat fuck

'Cause there’s a lotta days I don’t wanna do it

It’s pretty much the same with everybody that actually gets good at something

There’s gotta be those days you push through

They’re probably gonna be more numerous than the days you don’t

And so the benefit of discipline in my eyes has always been that through

discipline, I get things done

I’m like the most lazy disciplined person I know, because I don’t wanna do it

Through discipline, I get things done

The pro goes to work

Through discipline, I get things done

This is what I do

I also think that discipline is a pathway to creativity

When you’re on the battlefield

Is an absolute exercise in creativity

How are we gonna attack them?

How will we get this organized?

How are we gonna get in their heads?

That’s all just massive creativity

And when I look at people that are artists

I would imagine the more disciplined you are, you gotta write stuff down,

you gotta read, you gotta increase your vocabulary so that you are quicker and

sharper, so that when people are saying things, you have more words to battle

back at them

All those things, all that freedom that you get on stage, comes from the

discipline

You study, you learn, you read, you write, you talk, you go through things

Is that an accurate statement?

: Absolutely accurate

Through discipline, I get things done

The pro goes to work

Through discipline, I get things done

This is what I do

Through discipline, I get things done

The pro goes to work

Through discipline, I get things done

This is what I do

And it doesn’t matter if you’re sick, it doesn’t matter if you have kids

You’re a pro and you go to work and you have pride in that

And then when you are in front of that keyboard, you look down at the count

And it says, «I've got a fucking thousand words today.»

And outta that work, gems blossom

Well, you might have a day where you just write nothing but dog shit

So what?

Show up again tomorrow, and tomorrow outta that dog shit a flower will

emerge

Through discipline, I get things done

The pro goes to work

Through discipline, I get things done

This is what I do

Through discipline, I get things done

The pro goes to work

Through discipline, I get things done

This is what I do
