and if you can lose someone you never imagined losing, you can find something you never imagined having.

It is okay to disappoint people. In fact, it’s often necessary. When you choose to stay true to your values and beliefs you will inevitably let others down at times, but that’s not a reflection of your worth. It’s a sign of self respect. You are not responsible for managing everyone else’s expectations at the cost of your own well being. People who genuinely care about you will understand and those who don’t were only invested in what you could offer them, not in who you truly are. Disappointment is temporary, but betraying yourself to please others creates long term resentment. Honor your path, even if it means not meeting everyone’s expectations.

You want to know why you’re struggling with discipline?

You don’t have a discipline problem, discipline can be learned. you’re actually trapped in an emotional cycle that is keeping you stuck. Your start again stop again pattern isn’t about willpower—it’s about the loop of hope, fear/control & shame that sabotages your progress.

The cycle looks like this

You feel excited & motivated about your future goals.

You try to force discipline as a way to guarantee success.

You fall short, feel like a failure & beat yourself up.

Then, the cycle repeats, making you believe that the problem is you—when in reality, the problem is the pattern.

Discipline shouldn’t be a tool for control. Focus on showing up not guaranteeing results, so detach from the outcome & learn to trust yourself. At least to take risks.

Perfection isn’t sustainable (it also stems from insecurity) progress is. Progress x consistency = results. You can start big and still fail. The lesson and skills are in the journey. Whole point of everything. Even if you’re naturally great, if you’re not learning something- that becomes your blind spot that will ultimately work against you. Seriously, always look for the lesson. It’s good for you, I promise.

Instead of beating yourself up, learn to trust yourself to stay consistent. The moment you fall into self blame, you lose motivation. Discipline isn’t about forcing yourself at all; but about learning to show up consistently without fear or shame because you deserve what you want and are committed to getting it.

Now that we’ve understood (& hopefully acknowledged the emotional issue) we can control it.

Daily reminder that we do not actually live in a dystopian movie put the apocalypse down and back away slowly. You know when your cleaning a room and you pull everything out of it's draws to sort through it and you're like "what the fuck have I done I'm never going to be able to tidy all of this" I think that's the stage we're at in the world. Thanks to social media we've pulled out all the messed up shit from the cupboards of the world, it was always there but now we can see it and we're going to have to sort it all out we made this mess and we can fix it. Falling to the floor sobbing will not clean a crusty room. A group of people working systematically (preferably with music in the background) will.

We talk a lot about how once you’re an adult, you’re like “oh shit but I don’t feel like an adult.” And yeah, for sure. But I do want to mention that there’s also lots of times where I’m doing something very adulty, and I’m like yeah, I feel mature enough for this, I feel equipped to handle this, this is something I wouldnt have wanted to do ten years ago but find satisfying now, I enjoy the responsibility of what I’m doing, and I have expendable cash to spend on causes that matter to me and also novelty rain boots. It’s dope.

It’s cool. Take a shower. Open the windows to let in fresh air even if it’s cold out. Listen to the wind rustling the leaves & the people walking and chatting. Clean something random to see that you can make a difference through action. This too shall pass
