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

[Pre-Chorus]
Through discipline, I get things done
The pro goes to work
Through discipline, I get things done
This is what I do

[Jocko Willink]
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?
[Joe Rogan]: Absolutely accurate
[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
