If you’re in the ‘minimize regrets’ business like I am, you understand the importance of deploying willpower and discipline to attain certain skills, experiences, and knowledge to reach your targets, goals, dreams, and more importantly, your life’s mission.
Let’s face it: Fundamentals are boring. Therefore, most people focus on the fancy, trendy, cool stuff hyped up by media, so-called influencers, and you name it.
We all know how perceptions can be hijacked, twisted, and manipulated to fit into a certain paradigm designed to shut down your thinking brain and entertain your Reptilian Cortex.
What a genius way to put your critical thinking gear into sleep mode.
We live in a super-fast-paced world, where strategies and tactics that worked an hour ago perform ridiculously poorly a couple of hours later. Navigating life and business under these circumstances requires discernment and focused attention on universally governing principles we can all tap into if we choose to.
Two Fundamental Pillars: Willpower and Discipline
Duality reigns the third-dimensional realm we call “home”. Our avatar is perfectly designed to thrive in this harsh environment given the proper nutrients, care, and love. However, our multidimensional spirit finds it super challenging to align the mind with the physical body, thus being able to harness all the goodies that reside in the all-encompassing zero point.
We end up pushing and pulling various strings to see what works and what doesn’t. We test, fail, get up, and try again. Just like a merry-go-round, we stumble through life, trying to enjoy the adventure to our best capacities and capabilities.
Those who succumb to fear give up on their dreams and watch others race through different finish lines set up by a human species focused on external projectors, labels, identities, and taglines such as “success,” for example.
Then, you find beautiful souls that don’t get discouraged despite facing unfathomable adversities. They turn inwards, realizing that they have all the puzzle pieces required to have a fulfilling professional career or business from the start. This is when the individual’s unique blueprint kicks in, and the soul, having the human experience, remembers its mission on this turquoise planet.
Willpower and discipline don’t necessarily fit in the “flow state” category, as they require an inner push. It’s why I like to refer to them as “push-pillars”. Unfortunately, they often carry a negative connotation and are abandoned by people because they require consistent effort over an extended period. More so, those who want to achieve significant results will need to incorporate willpower and discipline into their toolkit throughout their lives.
Obviously, the quick-fix, comfort-driven, and consumption-oriented individual will ditch these pillars right away, as they don’t align with the low-vibrational state from which humans navigate life.
No wonder that advocates of willpower and discipline who adhere to the principles derived from the two are a minority species in today’s age.
The Punchline
Willpower and discipline may be unpopular, but they are foundational building blocks for life, health, relationships, and ultimately business.
An article, podcast, or video about mastering the fundamentals rarely catches fire in the mainstream “slither”, but when it does, it’s due to a rise in awareness and consciousness towards aspects of life that can’t be put off and ignored by the masses any longer.
Just because you don’t like to do something, it doesn’t mean you can allow yourself to ignore it. Pick your tools and battlefields wisely. Harness the power of universal laws, and don’t buy into the illusionary madness.
