SUCCESS COMES FROM CONSISTENT EFFORT Success is not the result of herculean effort. Success comes from consistently working towards your goal over a sustained period. The key is to form habits. First, you must have a purpose. Without purpose, habits are meaningless. The formation of every new habit causes mental pain. There is no smart gimmick in all of God’s blessed earth to by-pass the pain. You cannot by-pass the pain. You must embrace it and marshal through. That’s where self-discipline comes into play. Discipline is doing, what you planned to do; in spite of how you feel. And there’ll always be days, when you just don’t feel like doing the work. There’s no growth in the comfort zone… To achieve your purpose, you must continue to work in the midst of discomfort. Do the work and keep working; soon enough, the pain will go away.

All the feel-good motivation of the ‘Tony Robbins’ variety is total BS! Motivation won’t get you far at all. It is too short lived. At best, motivation can help you marshal through from moment to moment. Discipline is the only attribute, which will get you doing hours of work. You have been told that ‘RESULT’ is the name of the game. Yes indeed! It’s all about the results. And results are only produced by work. Results do not come from desultory work. Results come from consistent effort over a sustained period. The entire secret of life, of power, of everything, was taught to me when I was a teenager, by a farmer. And he taught it to me in the way that is so typical of men: three sentences, no more. I contend that the real conflict today is the same as it has always been urban versus agrarian values.
Shortcuts to Six-pack Abs When people forget where their food and fiber comes from, when they forget the natural processes and timetables that produce them, …when they start looking for someone else to "hand over" what they want and stop taking the responsibility for producing it themselves, …when they replace hard work with belligerence and aggression, they lock themselves into downward spirals of helplessness, powerlessness, and anger. Complexity and too many words destroy power, because has never come from words. Power comes from doing the damn work! Words do not put in crops. Words do not harvest them or get them to market or prepare them or put them on our plates. No one eats unless someone shuts up and does the damn work! The entire secret to success is ‘shut up and do the damn work!’
