You are one action away from living your dream life and moving towards everything you ever wanted. One action. It is much closer than you think. Do you know the reason why so many people fail to achieve goals in their life? It’s because they get discouraged of where they are in the present moment and realize how far their dream is away from them. We have been there and still find ourselves there but one thing that almost eliminated this way of thinking is the act of applying discipline to our lives. Being deliberate with improvement on a daily basis, no matter how big or small it is, gets us one step closer to our dreams and it will do the same thing for you. The key to success is found in discipline and nowhere else (or maybe a trust fund but we do not have that and chances are you don’t either).
The Art of Discipline: The Key to Success
Lately, I have been meditating on the idea of success and what it truly looks like. Success is a pretty subjective topic is what I started to conclude. Everyone’s version of it, from a material standpoint, is different but what I also found is that there is always a formula for every person that is successful no matter what that success looks like to them.
The secret you ask? Mastering and Overcoming Self.
The Key to success is overcoming the things that hold you back and stepping out of your own way in the process. When we overcome ourselves and step into the realm of consistent growth, whether that is physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, beautiful things tend to happen.
Whatever success looks like to you, chances are it is deeply rooted in a sense of discipline and consistency. We are here to say that martial arts are one of the ways to actively train these muscles and propel your life in a direction that will be fruitful long term.
The Discipline Advantage
Discipline is the act of training to obey rules or a code of behavior. Training martial arts has been a way that has not only made discipline an active part in my and many others’ lives but also makes the act a bit more fun along the way.
Your Martial arts journey is one that will be filled with ups ad downs. We personally train Brazilian jiu-jitsu and know that the road is long till we get our black belt but when you focus on the journey over the destination and let discipline guide you, the road is clear on where you are headed.
When you are purposeful with the things you do in life I believe that you are widely more at an advantage to reach success over those who are not. Being deliberate with the way you train, the things you focus on, or the people you spend time around is a massive component of living a successful and fulfilling life.
Who doesn’t want that?
We are working on an ebook centered around this topic of discipline because we are so in love with what it has done to our lives over the past couple of years. No matter how small the action, consistent effort over a long period of time equates to a large increase in whatever is being measured.
Discipline can be applied in all areas of our lives. Finances, fitness, friends, you name it. Applying it and deliberately training in a way that works this muscle in your mind only makes you more of a weapon in this world.
Why Martial Arts Gives You an Edge
When you train in martial arts, whatever discipline you choose, you are actively making a decision to do something hard and learn to master a new skill.
Doing hard things and being more skillful is like leveling up your character in a video game. When you are at a higher level, you find new bosses that are more challenging to slay, and when that time comes eventually you will look back and see that you are the person to be looked at in a good light.
All the work you put in does not go to waste. Be deliberate and methodical in the way you do things, the prize on the other side is worth it.
Martial arts is a great way to actively work out your discipline muscle. Adding discipline to any aspect of your life is a net positive thing that many people are waking up to. You only live once and it should be the best life it could possibly be. Whatever that looks like for you, embrace it. The Grapplers Graveyard is our baby that is going to grow into something massive someday. When? Who cares. I am committed to applying discipline in my life through my training and through the business I am building, follow me along this journey!
