The Instinct That Lies

There is an instinct inside you that says: you've done enough, you can rest now, you can stop.

That instinct is a defense mechanism for the ego. It wants you small and safe.

When you hear it, recognize it for what it is. Then do the opposite. One more set. One more page. One more minute on the path.

Make the harder reaction the default reaction. That is how discipline becomes who you are.
