Even when you don't feel like it
📹 Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance — Angela Duckworth (TED)
There once was a young basketball player named Maya. Every single morning, Maya woke up early to practice dribbling in her driveway — even when it was cold, even when she was tired, even when her friends were sleeping in.
Some days Maya really didn't want to practice. But she did it anyway. She told herself: 'Champions show up even when nobody is watching.'
By the end of the season, Maya had the best handles on her team. Not because she was the most talented — but because she was the most disciplined.
Discipline means doing what you are supposed to do, even when you don't feel like it. Every time you show up when it's hard, you are building a superpower.
Key Takeaway
"Discipline is a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets."
What is one thing you can do tomorrow morning to be more disciplined — even if it's small?
