You should be afraid.

Of waking up in six days, or six weeks, or six years, or sixty years and being no closer to your goal. You've made no progress.

That is the horror. That is the nightmare.

Do not take the easy way out.
Do not give up based on instinct.

If you are forced to stand down, to retreat so you can rebuild and re-attack, so be it.

But make that decision based on logic, not on the instinct of surrender and defeat.

Life isn’t easy. And it’s not supposed to be. Sure, there’s victories and there’s triumphs. But there’s also losses and setbacks. But those losses and setbacks only win if you let them. So don’t let them. No matter what happens, keep going, keep getting after it.

The first function of leadership is discipline, and that discipline starts with yourself. It is us.

We have to train. We have to prepare. We have to harden ourselves through suffering.

And while it hurts, discipline is what will ultimately bring us excellence.

"The greatest moments of life are not those of comfort or ease but those when we confront our own limits and overcome them. To live is to struggle, to wrestle with one’s demons, and to transform suffering into strength. The weak seek pity and escape, but the strong embrace hardship as a forge that tempers their soul. True greatness arises not from avoiding the challenges of life but from confronting them head-on."

Discipline can seem like it’s your worst enemy.

But the reality is: discipline is your best friend.

It will take care of you like nothing else can.

And it will put you on that path to strength and health and intelligence and happiness—and most importantly, it will put you on that path to freedom.

“What is it that we combat in Christianity? That it aims at destroying the strong, at breaking their spirit, at exploiting their moments of weariness and debility, at converting proud assurance into anxiety and conscience trouble; that it knows how to poison the noblest instincts and to infect them with disease until their strength, their will to power, turns inwards, against themselves — until the strong perish from excessive self contempt and self-immolation: that gruesome way of perishing.”
— Nietzsche

A leader must inspire through action, not just words.

Words alone do not motivate; actions do. A leader who leads by example—working hard, staying disciplined, and embodying the values they promote—sets the standard for the team.

Inspiration comes from seeing a leader’s consistent effort and commitment, proving they are invested in the mission and the people they lead.

My greatest contention:

Purposeful cruelty, imposed iron-discipline, contempt, supra-egoism, sharp justice, tyranny, and tough love have done more for elevating man than liberty ever has.

“Strive to do small things well. Be a doer and a self-starter—aggressiveness and initiative are two most admired qualities in a leader—but you must also put your feet up and think. Strive for self-improvement through constant self-evaluation. Never be satisfied. Ask of any project, How can it be done better? Don’t overinspect or oversupervise. Allow your leaders to make mistakes in training, so they can profit from the errors and not make them in combat. Keep the troops informed; telling them “what, how, and why” builds their confidence. The harder the training, the more troops will brag. Enthusiasm, fairness, and moral and physical courage—four of the most important aspects of leadership. Showmanship—a vital technique of leadership. The ability to speak and write well—two essential tools of leadership. There is a salient difference between profanity and obscenity; while a leader employs profanity (tempered with discretion), he never uses obscenities. Have consideration for others. Yelling detracts from your dignity; take men aside to counsel them. Understand and use judgment; know when to stop fighting for something you believe is right. Discuss and argue your point of view until a decision is made, and then support the decision wholeheartedly. Stay ahead of your boss.”

“That the dangerousness of his situation must grow to tremendous proportions, that his power of invention and dissembling must struggle up beneath the protracted oppression and compulsion, that his will to live must be enhanced to an unconditional will to power and to overpower, and that danger, severity, violence, danger in the street as well as in the heart, inequality of rights, concealment, stoicism, the art of experiment, devilry of all kinds, in short the opposite of all the herd thinks desirable, are necessary for the elevation of the type man.
