I remember years ago when the alarm used to go off in the morning, the first thing I did

was roll over and hit the snooze button.

In that incident, where you have a choice, a choice to either hit the snooze button and

go back to sleep in your nice warm, fluffy, cozy bed or open your eyes and get out of bed.

That's a choice that takes discipline.

I didn't have any discipline.

I always took the easy route.

The road that was more comfortable.

The problem is, when you make this decision, because it's the first decision that you make

literally the second you wake up, you are letting yourself off the hook.

You are literally training your mind to take the easy way out throughout the whole day,

which in turn leads to you taking the easy way out the whole month, all year.

Discipline is not something that any of us are born with, it's a muscle that we have

to train.

And I don't care what anyone says, it all starts at first second.

How you start your day and that decision that you make in that instant isn't as small

as just getting up a bed or not.

It's a decision that can shake the rest of your fucking life.

This ain't some motivational, inspirational bullshit.

This is a truth.

When I was younger, I dreamed that one day I'd get a job that paid me 50 grand a year.

That, for a boy where I come from, was a dream come true.
