This Week
The most painful place to be is in that gap where you're talented enough to know what excellence looks like, but not disciplined enough in your daily habits to actually go get it.

Neuroplasticity works faster under high emotional intensity. If you can resist a craving when it’s at its peak, you get a bigger rewiring effect. This is why the hardest moments matter most, they’re not setbacks, they’re high-voltage opportunities to change.

Most people are:
Way too easy on yourself, in all the wrong ways...and
Way too hard on yourself in all the wrong ways.Both have utility, but both are usually misused.
Be hard on yourself for the right things...and you'll go much further.

The highest form of discipline? Acting like your future self is watching. Every action is now a reflection. Every choice is proof. And when your decisions are made in the presence of who you’re becoming-you stop betraying that version of you.
