Somepeopleseemto have it all. They have great jobs, flawless bodies, and beautiful marriages. They even have the energy to go to the gym in the morning! Their self-belief is unshakable. When they want to accomplish something, they just do it. They seem to most of us to be godlike.
Okay, so I exaggerated a little. Nobody has a perfect life.
Some of us get quite close. What separates these fortunate individuals from the majority? What about them attracts success after success and opportunity after opportunity? You've probably observed that these outstanding individuals have a remarkable capacity to stay optimistic and stoic, even when everything around them falls apart.
Further, have you ever wondered how people who work and live in harsh environments keep going without giving up?
Some of them seem to enjoy the task! You've surely heard of Special Ops teams that spend weeks on near-impossible missions or adventurers who spend months trekking through freezing climes.
Other extraordinary people have lifestyles that need a different kind of extreme focus and concentration. A typical day in the life of a Zen Buddhist monk, for example, consists entirely of prayer and meditation. They reject the temptations of the earthly world and devote themselves entirely to spiritual growth. They are the religious counterparts of Olympic gymnasts and Fortune 500 CEOs. How can they maintain such a high level of motivation? What motivates them?
We may answer these issues with a single word: self-discipline.
It's not really about luck, you see. Sure, some individuals are born with genes that make them more attractive or happier than the typical person. But it's their laser-sharp concentration, tenacity, and the capacity to keep going when everyone else would give up that elevates a regular Joe or Jane to superhero status. You will discover their secrets in this book.
If you've ever wondered why you never seem to live up to your full potential, this is the book for you. If you're sitting on a pile of unfulfilled goals and ambitions, get ready to change your life! You're going to discover the secret that defines every successful athlete, CEO, and performer. You'll learn how some of the world's strongest people, including Navy SEALs and Spartans, consistently confronted danger and came out on top.
Why is this issue so important to me? I didn't realize the value of self-discipline until I was in my early thirties. I'd worked for several well-known firms, succeeding in most of my responsibilities in their human resources departments. But there was always something lacking. I felt as though I were losing control of my career. After all, no matter how big my position was, my work function and knowledge level were always chosen by someone else.
My normal pattern would be: I'd apply for an exciting new job, spend the first year getting to know the business culture, but then, around the 18-month mark, I'd get a growing sensation of claustrophobia. I'd become itchy. I'd fantasize about leaving my corporate job and becoming a freelancer. What would it be like to be my own boss? But every time I attempted to visualize truly starting my own company and accepting full responsibility for my life, I ran into a brick block. I couldn't seem to make a fresh start, no matter how much I wanted to. How would I keep myself motivated to look for new clients? Who would hold me accountable for my schedule? It all felt so overwhelming. As you can expect, I was nervous. I was at a fork in the road.
What eventually tipped the scales in my favor? One discussion helped. I was sitting at the coffee shop with a considerably older coworker one morning. He'd been in his position for over ten years and he despised it. We were chatting about the holidays we were going to take that year and I admitted that for a long time I'd wanted to start my company and travel the globe, going from country to country.
He burst out laughing. "Yeah, yeah," he said. "That's something no one ever does." A rush of disgust swept over me as he went back to his desk. So this is how losing feels, I reasoned. He is correct. That's something I couldn't do. It's all a dream. I don't think I've got it in me—or do I?
I had a decision to make. I could stay where I was, talking about the same difficulties and unmet dreams year after year, or I could make a drastic shift. I had a few self-help books on hand, some of which were unopened presents.
I immersed myself in the worlds of positive psychology and self-development and discovered how to accomplish anything I want. The answer to everything? Once again, it is self-discipline.
As it turned out, I had been asking the incorrect questions all along! I had maintained the conviction that in order to be successful, I needed to be entirely confident in myself and always driven by something. I also believed that if I became "successful," my life would miraculously fall into place and I would be happy. I had a lot to learn.
After many hours of studying, thinking, and testing, today I not only manage my own HR consulting firm, but I've also documented all of my favorite discoveries and top self-discipline ideas in this book. I don't want anybody else to be stopped by a lack of self-confidence or low self-discipline anymore. I am here to help!
You can improve your self-discipline and change your life if you truly want to. I currently live a life that is better than anything I could have envisioned a decade ago and I consider myself to be very self-disciplined.
I'm not flawless. I'll reveal a few of my own flaws as we go through this book—but the younger me would be shocked at how far I've come.
This book is divided into two sections. The first section will teach you all you need to know to change your thinking from self-doubt and ambivalence to complete self-discipline. You'll discover what psychology, philosophy, and even the military have to say about motivation and what pushes us to change.
The second section goes even further, focusing on the practical tactics you can start utilizing right now to supercharge every aspect of your life. You'll learn how routines, goal-setting, and a little-known technique called the Spartan self-discipline may help you push yourself harder than ever before.
