You Don’t Need Discipline. You Need Better Aim.

BELIEF

Most people think they need more discipline.

They don't.

They need better aim.

If you've set New Year goals every year and every year you quit—this isn't a personal failure.

It's a targeting problem.

Most people try harder when they should aim better.

PROBLEM (THE PATTERN)

Every January, we do the same thing.

New year. New me. Big goals. Big vision.

Fitness. Mental health. Quit the job. Start the business.

And for a moment—it feels amazing.

Then it's Tuesday. You're tired. The gym feels impossible.

You skip one day. Then two. Then you stop tracking entirely.

Not because you're lazy.

But because the goal itself starts to crush you.

WHAT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING

Big goals don't just inspire us—they haunt us.

And here's the part most people miss:

You're not failing at the goal.

You're failing at the preparation.

And preparation is the success.

SOLUTION (THE REFRAME)

Stop asking: What do I want to achieve?

Start asking: What does the person who achieves this do daily?

Want to be a writer? Write 200 words. Every day.

Even if it's garbage. Especially if it's garbage.

The goal isn't the book. The practice is.

You don't control outcomes. You don't control six-pack abs. You don't control success.

What you do control is simple:

Did you train today?
Did you create today?
Did you show up?

That's it.

This year, stop chasing a "new you."

Build a structure you can't escape. A daily practice that feels like a win—even on hard days.

You can hire coaches. Join groups. Do therapy.

All of that helps.

But nothing replaces keeping promises to yourself.

No one walks the path for you. They can point the way.

But you have to walk.

So stop trying harder.

Aim better.
