Discipline makes us free because it is like having wings to fly towards our dreams.

The book is about self-discipline. The different obstacles that arise in daily life to reach our objectives and goals.

It make us know from the biological bases of humans. Examples of life of how to face the struggles with oneself and willpower. It give us the bases of how to build routine and change our thoughts of laziness to start with activity that can take us to the path of our dreams.

Also how we can organize our time and start with simple activities. Set the alarm clock 10 minutes before the regular time. Have a moment to stretch and breathe.

The author invites us to leave our comfort zone.

The second motivator, master, refers to our innate urge to get better at things. Wherever people would ask to the legendary Kobe Bryant. Why he worked out 4:00 a.m. or why  he showed up to the gym to practice before anybody else arrived, he responded that he did it because he wanted to be greatest basketball player he could possibly be. Pg. 39 Chapter. 2

We ourselves have to be motivated to grow and be better.

“Mind Over Matter”

The discipline in the elite U.S. Navy have a strong training. Men and women have the mental fortitude and physical toughness to accomplish whatever mission they are assigned and to persevere and endure extreme difficulties. Their very lives depend on it. Pg. 52 Chapter 3

You definitely can not achieve something if it is not in your head first.

I recommend this book to learn more about other paths and methods in self-discipline. We can improve ourselves.
