This is where discipline comes in
Setting goals is great.
And setting FUN and meaningful goals is even better.
But what happens AFTER that spark of motivation is lit?
Here’s one of my favorite quotes:
“Motivation will get you going, but discipline will keep you growing.”
The other day I mentioned how brains are hardwired to like trying new things (aka fun goals).
Well, I believe we’re also hardwired to admire discipline.
Just think of all the inspirational movies that have become classics over the years!
Rocky, Erin Brockovich, Invincible, The Blind Side, Hidden Figures, and the list goes on and on.
We love watching people work hard NO MATTER WHAT … and WIN!

Discipline has its own reward beyond meeting goals.
It helps my clients step out of their comfort zone to live a “bigger” life.
It helps them develop a sense of pride.
It also brings them a special kind of self-confidence … because they know who they can count on when the going gets tough.
The payoffs of this kind of discipline have a ripple effect on my client's entire lives.
Discipline is not always easy … but that’s kind of the point, right?
This is why I do the sport shown in the link above ... go watch it now ... I'll wait.
Ask this question:
“If I were the star of my own inspirational movie…
What’s one area I would start showing up for myself, starting today?”
Even just thinking and reflecting on that question can create shifts that change lives.
People DESERVE to live their best lives.
