Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

How do we train our minds and our body to be motivated towards a goal and not stay lazy.

Well, at first it's know thyself, because we're all different.

So one of the attributes I talk about in the book is discipline.

And what I had to do with discipline was actively separate discipline from self-discipline.

The difference is that self-discipline is internally focused.

Self-discipline is about managing one's self-discipline is about managing oneself,

and it does, it has very little to do with external requirements, right? So you or I can decide to get in

shape, for example, and we can change our diet, we can work out every day. The external environment

I'm a very unself-disciplined person. I don't have a lot, right? And so what I, so I had to separate this because I've been able to achieve a lot of goals in my life. It's like, what's the difference? So those with very high self-discipline, sometimes, this is not exclusive, but sometimes have trouble

achieving long-term goals because the achievement of long-term goals often takes an ability and by necessity to march into the unknown, into uncertainty,

which is going to throw you off routine and

throw you out of certainty. The self-disciplined person, the very self-subsim, likes routine,

likes certainty, right? That's how it's structure. I mean, that's what it is. And so moving
