You think the thing that’s killing your potential is a lack of discipline/motivation.

You think the reason why you aren’t locked in, making fast progress towards your goals, is because you lack the mental toughness to push yourself that hard.

But you’re wrong. That’s not your problem.

The reason why the ball isn’t rolling fast is that you refuse to begin getting the ball rolling slowly.

You think the ball has to go from 0 to 100mph today, because if you can’t get it to 100mph today, then you’ll never be moving fast enough to achieve your goals – which is completely wrong.

Your problem is that you lack a habit.

The whole point of a habit is to reduce the amount of discipline/motivation that’s needed to stick with training.

You don’t need superhuman discipline/motivation to go from 0 to 100mph in your training.

You don’t need Formula 1 level acceleration.

Just compound smaller pushes over whatever timescale you’re able. Go from 0 to 1mph today, maintain it at 1mph for a few days, then push it to 2mph the next day, and so on.

You can get to 100mph that way.
