Be clear and concise

Willpower is for amateurs

But you’re a pro.

Stop trying to coax yourself.  It’s too tactical, too short term and unsustainable.  Too much like doing an all-nighter for an exam, and later discovering you forgot all you “learned.”

You feed your grit, your perseverance by knowing the “why,” and making the right changes to fulfill your personal resolve to reach your goal.  It’s then fixing in your mind what you want, and knowing exactly what you will do in exchange for what you want.

Change your environment.  Change your attitude and perspective.  Change your dislike for discomfort.  They’re more than just life hacks, they’re strategic moves to put yourself in situations where you will thrive and prevail.

Most of all, be clear and concise on what you want, why you want it, and when you want it – write it all down.  And then make the changes to go get it.
