The Importance of Discipline - How to Trust Yourself and Build Trust with others

I appreciate you putting your thots on this subject out to the community, it really isn’t talked about enough. As someone who’s roughly ur age, I can look back on my own experience and can definitely see how the small “disciplined actions” I started doing have help to mold me into a better person over the years. Tho I would heavily season that statement with the fact that I have plenty still to work on. One thing I’d like to add to the conversation is having the discipline to own up to your mistakes and actions. This is something that we never want to do but it really helps to build character and you can and will look back and be proud of yourself for being disciplined at the time. We aren’t perfect and when we are rode or vengeful, careless, or angry, we can say and do hurtful things. It’s important that we own up to these times when we know we were wrong and to apologize or try to address our actions. I know I’ve wanted to hide from these situations or pretend and hope the other person didn’t notice but being disciplined enough to admit without excuses, that we acted poorly and were wrong to have done so has time and time again proven to be the best path forward and you can start to show yourself and your team/community, that you can be trusted even when you’ve acted wrongly. Hope that makes sense. Either way. I look forward to the videos. Let me know if you’re ever up in the Yukon in Canada. I’d be happy share any cool places to check out.

Loved the C.S. Lewis quote: "Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking." Easily change that to: "Discipline is doing it even when you don't want to." Thank you for your channel. I'm not your "average" viewer by any stretch - 67-year-old woman - but I love you content. Thank you.

You cannot achieve much without discipline... recognising that is part of achieving true masculinity..... Awesome vid Mike!!!

I have no trouble with the big things in life. It's the small things, that while not significant done once, have significance done routinely. The big projects or to-dos bring satisfaction and immediate sense of accomplishment. The small things don't have that excitement, but when compounded bring all the same impact and realizing that is what discipline has been to me

Discipline is important for every person. It helps to be more organized and self-confident. Plus, it builds character. And not only if you are a military man, but also in everyday life. I think everyone needs to educate themselves and develop necessary and useful habits. Starting from a healthy lifestyle, such as proper nutrition, going to the gym, training and professional growth, ending with hobbies and skills acquisition. For example, in terms of health, I started going to the sauna, going to boxing, and I like hiking in the mountains, etc. Of course, it is better in a group of like-minded people, it is easier to train yourself, there is support and it is more interesting. But trust is needed in the group, and this requires time and participation on a regular basis. Thank you for your work on the video and for such good thoughts. My respect to you.

Great video, mate. I’m still a teen nearing adulthood and this sort of advice is much appreciated. I’m grateful you share this content for free, for everyone to see. Thank you very much.

Excellent video and so many valuable points. Thank you!

This is the first video of yours I've seen. Don't fully understand who it is aimed at, service people or civilian outdoors people (or both) but the message is sound. I'm probably close to 3x your age and have been doing outdoors activities since about the age of 9 on 3 continents. It does feed in to your outlook on life in general for the simple fact it shows you how thin the veneer of civilization really is, comfort and convenience are only ever temporary but most of all you need to get up and effect your environment because no one will do it for you and if they do there's often a price to pay. Thank you for taking the time to cover a less popular but still important topic and doing a good job.

I love my dad ❤ he's so handsome 😍

[@infantryski11b64]

But seriously though, great video. Do you have a discord?

[@Echo_Mike]

Aha I do not

[@infantryski11b64]

​@Echo_Mike something to consider. Especially if you're a pc gamer. Virtual training when taken seriously. I was infantry for 8 years and I'm solo in training nowadays. Everyone I come across, I offer to train them and so far only 1 guy ever hit me up. My entire neighborhood will be looking to me when the shiz goes down.
