Look, if you're viewing this book, there's one thing that I know about you. You have a goal, maybe multiple goals. There's something that you really, really want to achieve. This goal may by relatively small, or a gigantic, crazy goal in which you have no idea how to achieve. Either way, you're looking for a book on self discipline because you know that this vitally important skill is the one thing that will prevent you from achieving this goal and pretty much anything else. I write this because for the last 5 years, I knew this as well. I've always wanted to do big, crazy things with my life, and it didn't take me long to realize that self discipline was the only thing that was stopping me. I would set a goal, work very hard on it at first- and then fall off track. I failed so many times and really wanted to figure this self discipline thing. I looked at the greats of the world- Steve Jobs, Michael Phelps, LeBron James, and just marveled at their unbelievable, unstoppable work ethic and discipline. For 5 years I tried to figure out how they did it. What was their secret? What drove them to work so hard every single day? I tried every self-help strategy out there- visualization, vision boards, affirmations, afformations, incantations, accountability, straight-up willpower, meditation, morning rituals, scheduling, self-hypnosis, banning YouTube from my computer network, staying in the present moment- you name it. None of them worked. Any of them. And for a lot of people, they are in the same shoes that I was in for five years. They can't figure out why they just can't get themselves to stay disciplined. And now? Me? I'm finally that disciplined person I've always wanted to be. I'm at the gym every day. I practice my craft as a classical cellist more every day. I just wrote a freaking book. I'm consistent, and almost never fall off track. I'm the person that I dreamed to be for five years. And let me give you a hint: It's not a strategy that made the difference for me. What finally allowed me to change and be disciplined, once and for all, was to change from within as a person. That's what we'll talk about in this book. Yes, I will talk about powerful strategies, even some of the ones I listed above, but this book resolves around the fundamental principle that you must change as a human being at a personal level.
