They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.
When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.
But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.
That isn't motivation.
5 Ways To Develop Discipline And Use It To Crush Your Goals.
Motivation will not make you successful.
Discipline will.
Look at the lives of truly successful people and you'll see this is true. (Thread)
They think motivation is a 'positive feeling' that helps you do things.
When they feel this certain kind of way, they take action.
But when they don't feel this 'positive feeling' they resign.
That isn't motivation.
Motive + Action.
Motivation is the motive behind the action.
It is the reason for the action.
The why!
For example, why do you want to start a business?
So you can have freedom, yeah?
That is the motivation.
But even with a strong 'why' many people still struggle with staying dedicated to their goals.
Why?
They lack discipline.
Today I'll share 5 ways you can develop godlike discipline to crush your goals.
When you decide to discipline yourself what you are saying is that you want to
'Train yourself to become a disciple to certain principles and ways of life.'
Here are the 5 ways to Get It Done:
I think this point is better said this way:
'Shun instant gratification.'
We are naturally wired for instant results.
You rake alcohol, you want to instantly feel high.
Post on social media, expect the likes & shares to be instant
Meet a lady today and want her to like you enough to go to bed with you instantly.
Start learning a skill and want to be baddass on day 1.
You need to train yourself to be numb to instant results.
We overestimate what we can achieve in one month and underestimate what we can do in one year.
Understand that every achievement is a process, and processes take time.
Thinking this way will help you 'train' yourself to stay consistent.
Success come from doing the boring work.
Yes, they say 'pursue your passion and you'll always be excited and enthusiastic. "
That is half the truth.
Sometimes boring work.
It is boring to sit and study (alone).
It is boring to sit and take a course (alone).
It is boring to sit and practice that skill you are learning.
It is boring to sit in meetings discussing visions and plans.
These things are boring.
And that is why we run from them.
So you have to get used to doing the boring work.
Learn to say NO to things that prevent you from being productive.
Sometimes these are things you like.
For instance, you decide to read or study for an hour, but every 10 minutes you check Twitter.
You just can't resist the notifications.
Stop it.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
