Discipline One of my followers asked me the following: Kiwihame • 15 hours ago Fabulous advice Gert. I'd say your primary guiding principle is your discipline. Huge respect to you. Maybe you could do a video on that. Cheers from NZ. Ok, now how does one acquire a mindset that are disciplined? Discipline is key to reaching your goal with anything in life. We all know that nothing really worth it’s weight in life comes easy, it only comes with hard work, sometimes, very hard work. And although most of us are willing to do some hard work, we lack the discipline to do it in a consistent fashion. Our mood and feelings determine our actions and consistency. And the lack of consistency is what eventually kills our dream. Especially for a body transformation where consistency becomes critical. We got the “will”, but we lack the discipline. A disciplined mindset is one where you do what you need to do, no matter whether you feel like it, or whether you are in the mood or whether you have the energy or not. With a discipled mindset you will not let drinking or socializing with mates derail your training appointment with the gym or your girlfriend or anything else. Nothing will. This same disciplined mindset will be extended to your diet and every other aspect of your life. Now the big question is, HOW do you get this disciplined mindset? I have touch on the subject in some of my other videos. But, let me get more specific here. First, let me use myself as an example to explain the action plan. Before age 40 I tried for years to built muscle. More than 10 yrs. But alas nothing really happened simply because I had this very same problem of not having a disciplined mindset to apply consistency with diet and training. I had this dream of a great body and I really WANTED it, so the “will” was there. But a “will” without a disciplined mindset is but a whisper in the wind. I just always failed miserably. So, age 40 came and there I had my first very close call with death and got some nasty prognosis for my future health expectations from the doctors. For the first time this made me wake up and really (!) smell the roses. It was literally a do-or-die situation for me. Which…was exactly what I needed. The problem up to age 40 was that my “will” to transform and build a great body was based simply a superficial dream. I just wanted to look good. There was nothing “deeper” than a mere skin-deep beauty quest that was driving me. And THAT was the reason of failure every time. The “will” to get to the goal post was a superficial will that lacked any substance. Such a “will”, will always be derailed when even the slightest problem or mood change hit. And THAT is what happens to 95% of guys out there. The moment when I had to readjust my complete mindset to include a fight for dear life, was the moment that I acquired the discipline I lacked before. Why? Because now my will to get to the goalpost was not skin deep anymore. It had real substance and meaning. The driving force that resulted in my disciplined mindset was a fight that now had real meaning. And this is why 95% of guys fail in their quest and lack any real discipline, because their quest is that of a skin-deep shallow ideal. But obviously, no one ever wants to go through a life and death ordeal to force a disciplined mindset. So, assuming you are a healthy guy and you want to get this mindset, what do you do? Hold on, because this is not for the faint hearted and now it gets interesting. The key here is that your journey must not be just about a superficial skin-deep journey, but you need to make your journey a journey of changing the inside and the outside. Meaning you need to change yourself at the core. Your journey needs to have MEANING. Real meaning. A journey based on superficial reasons will always fail. A journey based on life changing stuff will give your whole journey so much more weight that you cannot afford not to get a disciplined mindset. Simply because there is too much riding on this. There is no room for failure.
