Reflection on Today's Quote
Discipline isn’t loud. It’s the quiet decision you make when no one’s grading you—do the rep, write the line, close the tab. Minutes don’t look like much while you’re inside them. They’re small, boring, bite-sized. But stack them—again, and again, and again—and suddenly there’s a before and after you can point to. That’s the strange math of effort: ordinary minutes, multiplied by honesty, become a milestone you didn’t think you could touch.
I’ve never regretted a disciplined minute. I’ve only regretted the ones I sold to distraction. What if the thing you want is just a few stubborn, unglamorous minutes away—repeated for a month?
