You don't impose discipline on yourself for the sake of discipline. You can do that today. You can do that tomorrow. You can do that next week. But you can't do that for years. The foundation of the discipline needs to be the desire for freedom.

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“New goals don't deliver new results. New lifestyles do. And a lifestyle is a process, not an outcome. For this reason, all of your energy should go into building better habits, not chasing better results.”
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.

And if a change is meaningful, it is actually big. That's the paradox of making small improvements.”
