31) Battling Daily Self-Discipline

Everybody deals with this every day. Some more than others. Some days feel a little off but you need to have a new level of expectations. There’s a level of expectation of self-discipline I have on myself, even on my worst days. I’m winning by hitting my daily minimum expectations.

Am I taking myself one day further, or one day closer, to the life that I’m trying to create for myself? This question constantly runs through my head when I’m thinking about my daily actions. Diet, training, work, and failure. Your personal system of checks and balances.

What about tomorrow? Think about when you get up each day. Do you feel incrementally better than you did last week or last month? Uncover the norm and continue to push. I strive to incrementally improve on the things that I already know work, and then let them compound over time. There's a baseline of expectations set. Then, it becomes a question of how can I push that limit?

Yesterday I had a certain level of expectation. Today’s expectation level needs to be higher. One day closer, not one day farther. Not meeting expectations sends you in the wrong direction. You see what I’m saying?

Dedicate to the process for the long-term. The habitual process will lead the charge of incremental growth. There’s no one on this planet that hasn't experienced this process and hasn’t been successful. They create habits, continually follow them, establish expectations, and then get to work.
