re: why you’re failing

Listen

You’re not where you want to be right now…

Because you rely on motivation.

→ You go to the gym when you feel like it.

→ You work hard only when you're in the mood.

→ You stay disciplined until it gets uncomfortable.

That’s why you keep falling off.

Because you’re too obsessed with how you feel.

And not disciplined enough to act regardless of your feelings.

To succeed, you need to stop letting your emotions run the show.

Here’s how:

The Difference Between Winners and Everyone Else

The most successful people in the world…

Don’t wake up motivated every day.

They wake up with a non-negotiable commitment to execution.

And when that commitment is strong enough, it overrides any discomfort.

Look at David Goggins. The man literally ran a 100-mile race on broken feet, and pushes himself to crazy extremes every day.

Not because he’s built different.

In fact, Goggins was ‘built’ to fail.

(awful home life, traumatic childhood, etc.)

But he MADE himself different.

By refusing to let emotions dictate his actions.

You can do the same

🚫 Feeling tired? Work anyway.

🚫 Not in the mood? Doesn’t matter.

🚫 Tempted to slack off? That’s your cue to push harder.

If you only work when it’s easy:

You’ll stay in the same place forever.

How to Rewire Your Brain for Discipline

Discipline isn’t something you ‘get’.

It’s something you build - through deliberate, daily execution.

How?

Here’s a few quick-fire tips:

✅ Make the decision once. Stop debating with yourself. The more you "think about it," the less likely you are to act. Remove the choice.

✅ Create hard rules. “I train at 7 AM, no matter what.” “I work for 3 hours before checking my phone.” Non-negotiable. No excuses.

✅ Lean into discomfort. The moment you don’t “feel” like doing something? That’s the moment you must do it.

These things rewire your brain to expect action, not excuses.

Over time, it stops being a fight. It just becomes who you are.

Every Choice Matters

Every day, you’re making a choice.

One path is easy… skipping the gym, putting off work, choosing comfort.

The other is hard… showing up when you don’t feel like it, proving to yourself that you’re built for more.

And every single choice compounds.

See, most people don’t fail all at once.

They fail in a thousand small moments.

One skipped workout. One excuse. One more day of staying the same.

Success isn’t one big, dramatic shift.

It’s just one choice at a time.

So make the next choice a good one.

And then do it again.

And again.

Until it stops being a choice.

And just becomes who you are.
