Consistency vs Discipline

But if you just do it, but you have to say consistent, not consistency, because it comes up different. Consistent versus discipline. It says discipline is the ability to do hard or ordinary things when there's no motivation, and consistency is the ability to do those things for an unordinary amount of time. That's my key to success. That's all I've done. Literally, that's it. And I always wonder, I'm like, because I call myself consistent and I call myself disciplined, and I always go back to Google, I'm like, what's the difference again? You know, and it's like, again, maybe you have motivation, maybe you don't. I think we all do at the core, but on a Wednesday afternoon at 1 PM when you don't feel like working till 9 PM tonight, are you gonna do it anyway? Tomorrow morning maybe is another dial day and you're gonna have maybe something come up. Maybe you're not gonna feel good, maybe you're gonna be timid, maybe you're gonna feel weird about getting on the phone tomorrow. Maybe you had a shitty day in the field and you're like, I need a break, or you're stressed out and you're like, I'm overwhelmed, I need a break. Whatever thing you sell yourself, are you going to show up tomorrow anyway? You know, I related a lot to the gym. Any of y'all that have followed me for multiple years, I was like honestly fat and out of shape 3 years ago. It was kind of disgusting and I didn't like it. Like bending over to tie my shoes was uncomfortable. Like my gut got in the way. If I ran around, my son at the time was probably 7 when I noticed, I'd run around with him in the backyard and I was like out of breath in 3 seconds. And I literally felt like trash about myself. And I was like, the thing that clicked for me for getting, and I'm in pretty damn good shape now. I'm like, you take a bunch of 46-year-olds, I'm in like the top 1 or 2%. Now I always say, if you take those top 1 or 2% and put a bunch of us in the room, eh, I'm no bodybuilder, but I'm in pretty damn good shape for 46. And my key is I show up every day, you know. But I remember when I was messing around with Maddox outside, I was like, God, this is going backwards. This is not where I want to be. I want to be able to run around with him outside. He's my youngest. My oldest kid is 29. So I ran around with her when I was a teenager, in my early 20s. That was easy. But in my 40s, it got hard, you know. So I decided I wanted to do something about it. And I'd always worked out on and off throughout my years. I'd go through stages, I'd lose 10, 20, 30 pounds, I'd gain it back, I'm very inconsistent. I didn't really have a routine. And what clicked for me is I looked back to my success in the insurance industry, and the only thing I did was I committed to a schedule, I showed up every day no matter how I felt, and I just put in the acti— I just put in the work and I didn't quit.
