The Way of Discipline

1 minute read

Discipline: The root of all good qualities. The driver of daily execution. The core principle that overcomes laziness and lethargy and excuses. Discipline defeats the infinite excuses that say: Not today, not now, I need a rest, I will do it tomorrow.

Jacko describes what he calls the Way of Discipline in his book, which has the following “tenants”:

  • Discipline is the root of all good qualities
  • Discipline is the driver of daily execution
  • Discipline overcomes laziness and lethargy
  • Discipline defeats excuses
  • Discipline comes from within

On the last point, Jocko argues that self-discipline comes when you make the decision to be disciplined.
