This is how I have mastered the discipline to keep doing exactly what I need to, even when everything pushes against me.
Thursday afternoon and it is raining. I have been telling myself all day I would go to the gym, but today I did not sleep enough, I lost entry in two tokens I got direct alpha for in my Telegram, and the weather is not really helping here.
I jump quick to the thought, "come on, it is almost irrational to go with all the odds against me." I do not go. Next day it is just a bad day. I am in a bad mood and nothing is helping, even though it is Friday. Well, I already did not go yesterday, so fuck this now.
We have all been there, you and me. We know the name of that. Excuse. But even better, this is reality in black and white.
One Simple Commitment, Nothing More
What if I told you that on those days we just need to do one thing. Just commit to one simple thing instead. This might be just driving to the gym, or maybe staying in front of the camera to record that video you have been avoiding for days.
That is how it starts. You make one single move, nothing else. You drove to the gym, you put on your workout clothes, you get in front of the computer. Just like that, you did it. You nailed this and you should be proud.
Now Comes the Catch
What if, now that you have done the impossible first move and you feel proud, you committed to just one more thing? You are already here, so why not?
I am not saying you should start from the start thinking that one commitment will lead to the other. No, that is not true, because nothing will ever happen if that simple and single first one is not even being considered for you right now.
The Law of Motion, Applied to Life
Once you take that first step, you have already proved your capability. You have already made yourself proud with that single commitment. And this is exactly Newton's law of physics: to start a body that is not moving is hard. You have to build acceleration higher than friction. High effort.
But once moving, the acceleration you need is lower, because the friction is not the same anymore. Lower effort. Once you want to go faster, it is just a matter of desire, because you are already going somewhere. You are in fact already moving.
I do not need to show my engineer degree here to prove to you that this is not just a fact in physics, it is the law of movement for literally everything. Objects, people, planets, energy, just everything.
