I understand the point, but I don’t really agree with the words being used. “Discipline” implies that you are forcing yourself to do something you don’t want to do. That really isn’t a winning long term strategy. People who think they are disciplined usually have a coherent internal self of purpose that gives them motivation to do the things that will help them achieve their goals. People that lack that will generally fail to implement self-discipline long term.
Well then, what’s the right word to use?
I tried some of those, albeit a different brand that had a happy little chicken on the label.
I preferred the unlabeled dehydrated meats formerly purchasable in bulk from our now-defunct salvage grocery store. I’m not sure what it was, but it was better than chicken chips and definitely mostly meat.
That place had some of the best deals I’ve ever seen on food. You could get dented Quebecois maple syrup cans, bulk supplements in unsealed Ziploc bags and mildly expired 128oz cans of pork gravy. I’m talking pennies per ounce.

Before the Grocery Outlet chain pulled themselves out of the piss-stained alley, we knew them as the train wreck store.
With all the dented cans and all, that sounds like your place…
It was one of those places that seemed out of a Simpsons episode with all of the wacky stuff, but hey, some people took advantage of it. That can of pork gravy that my girlfriend refused to allow me to place in the cart probably got used by some folks out in the woods who own 17 dogs that like pork gravy.
Fortunately, we still have Mardens, which sometimes sells all kinds of questionable salvage food products and supplements. I still have my Marden’s steak knife set I purchased 15 years ago when I snagged the last one on the shelf.
The Marden’s lady always offered good advice.
It’s a fair question and I don’t really know the answer. I just think that “self-discipline” is mostly an illusion. Yes, it can fill in the gaps from time to time. People who aren’t “disciplined” don’t become more “disciplined” by willing themselves to be so. And people that are “disciplined” are generally that way because they have an internal source of motivation, not because they are just gritting their teeth and controlling themvelves.
In other words, I don’t think it’s a useful concept for someone who is trying to meaninfully change his life long term.
That’s literally the definition of self discipline.
Arnold uses the same concept but refers to motivation vs habit.
You’re not going to create a (good) habit without first motivation and then discipline, but his theory is that if they persist long enough then you end up with a habit and that’s easy to maintain.
But Yoda said it best: “There is no try. Do, or do not.”
That’s my point. Successful people aren’t really living like that. They have a ‘why’ that lets them not need use “self discipline.” To me, that sounds more like “motivation” than “discipline.”
