Discipline Gets Things Done (feat. Jocko Willink)

The one thing that discipline definitely does help you with It helps you get things done And when you get things done, when you actually do things You have more success A big part of success is just not being fucking lazy and just doing it 90% of it is just showing up, get there, and start working Like you're not gonna feel perfect every day If I only worked out when I felt good, I'd be a fat fuck 'Cause there's a lotta days I don't wanna do it It's pretty much the same with everybody That actually gets good at something There's gotta be those days you push through They're probably gonna be more numerous than the days you don't And so the benefit of discipline in my eyes Has always been that through discipline, I get things done I'm like the most lazy disciplined person I know Because I don't wanna do it Through discipline, I get things done The pro goes to work Through discipline, I get things done This is what I do I also think that discipline is a pathway to creativity When you're on the battlefield Is an absolute exercise in creativity How are we gonna attack them? How will we get this organized? How are we gonna get in their heads? That's all just massive creativity And when I look at people that are artists I would imagine the more disciplined you are You gotta write stuff down, you gotta read You gotta increase your vocabulary so that you are quicker and sharper So that when people are saying things You have more words to battle back at them All those things, all that freedom that you get on stage Comes from the discipline You study, you learn, you read, you write, you talk You go through things Is that an accurate statement? Absolutely accurate Through discipline, I get things done The pro goes to work Through discipline, I get things done This is what I do Through discipline, I get things done The pro goes to work Through discipline, I get things done This is what I do And it doesn't matter if you're sick It doesn't matter if you have kids You're a pro and you go to work and you have pride in that And then when you are in front of that keyboard You look down at the count And it says, "I've got a fucking thousand words today." And outta that work, gems blossom Well, you might have a day where you just write nothing but dog shit So what? Show up again tomorrow And tomorrow outta that dog shit a flower will emerge Through discipline, I get things done The pro goes to work Through discipline, I get things done This is what I do Through discipline, I get things done The pro goes to work Through discipline, I get things done This is what I do
