This time you have to attack the workout better than you did last time. I don’t want to hear the excuse that you didn’t have enough time today because you did. If you want to do more afterwards that’s not my responsibility. My responsibility is to make sure that you get through your workout without fail. That means if you have to give up something you want for something you have to do then so be it. I don’t care. Your desires beyond what I want mean absolutely nothing to me. What I have to do is all that matters. I will do it. I will make sure that the things you say you’re going to do, you actually go and do them. I’m doing this all for you even if you feel as though I’m going against your will. I want you to be able to walk with the confidence that comes with being who you say you are.
Because discipline isn’t about what you feel like doing—it’s about what needs to be done. Your wants, your comfort, your fleeting desires—they hold no weight here. The only thing that matters is that you follow through.
And you know this. You’ve seen what happens when you let yourself negotiate, when you start making room for excuses. It chips away at you. It eats at your confidence, at your belief in yourself. That’s why I don’t allow it. That’s why I don’t care if it’s inconvenient, if you’re tired, if something else sounds better right now. I refuse to let you be less than what you promised yourself you’d be.
So push. Attack this workout. Attack this day. Not because it’s easy, not because it’s fun, but because this is who you are now. The one who shows up, who does what they say, who earns their confidence through action. And when you walk away, you’ll know—not because you hoped, not because you wished, but because you did it.
