Day 101: On the Ultimate Excellence in Self-

Discipline

Ultimate  excellence  lies  not  in  winning  every  battle,  but  in  defeating

the enemy without ever fighting.

—Sun Tzu

 

96

Some  people  wrongly  believe  that  self-discipline  is  a  never-ending

series  of  battles  with  temptations.  Today  you’re  battling  against  the

temptation to drink wine, tomorrow you’ll battle against the temptation of

laziness, and the day after tomorrow you’ll struggle with a temptation to eat

pizza instead of steamed vegetables. In the meantime, you’ll have dozens of

smaller skirmishes, each attacking you from a different front.

In  reality,  if  your  life  looks  like  that,  there’s  little  chance  that  you’ll

stay  self-disciplined  in  the  long  haul.  The  ultimate  goal  is  to  design  your

life  in  such  a  way  that  you’ll  rarely  fight  against  temptations.  There  are

three primary tools you can use for that:

1. Identity change. When your identity changes, you no longer need to

desperately fight against temptations because you don’t see them as such. If

eating  potato  chips  daily  is  no  longer  a  part  of  your  identity,  there’s  no

temptation  to  defeat;  previously  overpowering  urges  are  now  a  non-issue

because they are incongruent with your new identity.

2.  Habits.  Unlike  identity  change,  you  might  still  need  some  self-

discipline to act or to overcome a temptation, but it will be only a modicum

of what had been necessary before you established your routine. Instead of

a full-blown battle, either you won’t need to fight at all, or it will be a short

brawl at most.

3. Avoiding temptations. If you don’t want to eat fast food, avoid fast

food  restaurants.  There’s  little  benefit  in  needlessly  exposing  yourself  to

temptations, particularly when you know that the enemy is hard to beat.
