Motivation is a feeling that comes and goes and it doesn't matter whether it's there or not. Discipline is infinitely more important. So no matter how you feel, get up and do what you're supposed to do. That's it. And that's discipline. It's not motivation. If you only did what you were supposed to do when you were motivated to do it, that's leaving it to chance. But if you're disciplined, you go to what you're supposed to do.

That's the way it works.

Do something that's hard and do it every day. That's one of the nice things about Jiu-Jitsu. You're going to get choked. You're going to be uncomfortable. You're going to get smashed. You're going to have to tap out. Your ego is going to get abused. Your... Go do that. Go do that. Go do that. Go for a run lift just do just do hard stuff and that's a good

good way to keep that I guess fresh but his fear is the same fear that we all build up for

whatever that thing is whether it's going on stage or whether it's jumping out of an

airplane or whether it's taking risk with some kind of a business situation. Well, the more you sit there and think about it, the worse it's going to get in your own head. For the most part, you're going to run into challenges in life. And if you curl up into a ball and complain about it, that's not going to help you. And if you say, okay, cool, good,

here's some adjustments I can make to move forward. That's going to be a better move than

cowering. I enjoy doing these things. I enjoy working out. Do I enjoy working out every single day?

Nope. And that's when it's like, oh yeah, but I know the results of the long run. And I think that's an important thing that I've talked about and again talked about this with my with my daughter. It's like if you

Give up a little bit today like you can't get it back.

Like, if you skip a workout today, you can't, you, there's no possible way to get that back.

When you let something go, it's gone.

And Rome wasn't built in the day, but Rome didn't fall apart on the day either.

It didn't fall out, fall apart because of one thing. It falls apart just a little bit at a time.

Nobody gets fit overnight.

Nobody gets fat overnight.

Exactly.

And so you can't, you know, you can't submit.

You can't submit.

You have to get in there and keep it going.

And I know the results of not doing the thing are not good.

And I enjoy doing the thing, so in order to keep doing the thing, you got to do the thing.
