WEEK 20

Day 134: On Staying Congruent

Immediately prescribe some character and form of conduct to yourself,

which you may keep both alone and in company.

—Epictetus

 

128

If there exists a “hack” for quickly embracing self-discipline as a part

of  your  identity,  it’s  clearly  communicating  to  everyone  around  you  how

important this value is for you — and then taking actions that are congruent

with that decision.

The key is to maintain that behavior both when you are around other

people and also when you’re alone — we’re not talking about faking it in

public. The beautiful part is that when others associate you with a certain

positive trait, you’ll want to maintain it.

Think of a child who’s considered to be tough by other kids. The next

time he or she scrapes his or her knee, will he or she cry or try to remain

congruent  with  his  or  her  public  image  and  walk  it  off?  Obviously,  we’re

adults  now,  but  the  basic  premise  doesn’t  change:  humans  need  to  stay

congruent, particularly around other people.

All of my friends know that I’m a bit of a freak when it comes to self-

discipline  (okay,  not  a  bit  of  a  freak  ,  I  am  a  freak  about  that!)  and

consequently,  this  form  of  conduct  is  pretty  much  forced  on  me.  I  don’t

want to be incongruent with myself and I don’t want other people to think

that I’m saying one thing and doing another .

For example, if there’s a challenge in front of me and I know that my

friend  is  thinking  that  I’m  going  to  face  it  instead  of  quitting,  I’ll  face  it

(obviously only after I ensure that it’s relatively safe).

Then,  when  I’m  alone  dealing  with  a  self-imposed  challenge,  I’ll  be

less likely to give up, too — after all, I don’t want to lose the respect I have

for myself, and most certainly don’t want my friends to be disappointed in

me  upon  learning  that  I’m  a  different  person  around  them  and  a  different

person when I’m by myself.
