It feels right

How about stop seeing it as discipline? You don’t need that to achieve what you want.


Discipline. Discipline, discipline, discipline, discipline.

I bet everyone is fed up with this word. I don’t really use social media (Except discord if you count that) but I believe a lot of people there talk about it. And I REFUSE to do the same old yada yada yada speech that to achieve what you want, you need to be disciplined and all that boring stuff. No. I want to make my posts special.


So what are we talking about today? My perspective on the matter, which is:

If you want to get good at something, just do it everyday.

Now I know what you might be thinking… “Erm, Tayrone, that’s why you need to be disciplined. To do the thing everyday”

I get that. BUT, if you need discipline to do something, that means you’re struggling with it, and you actually don’t need to struggle all that much.


This might be a longer post so sit tight.

I’m going to talk about my case here for a while.

When I was 15, I attended the gym twice a week, not much I know, but then I had to move to a place where there were no gyms anymore. So I wasn’t moving much.

After some time I thought to myself: “Why don’t I just exercise with my body’s weight everyday?”

Like… So that I can finish the day, I had to do this mental task of exercising. To make it easy not to ever forget, I always exercise before showering.

Cool, I started exercising, about 20 minutes per day, with time I added more exercises and got better at old ones, changing stuff. And you know one thing? It was never a struggle for me, I still do this everyday. 

I believe the reason why it wasn’t a struggle was because it was something I set up to do by myself, alone, without even telling anyone, and it was my rules. The mental checkbox was only checked if I did what I felt like I had to. 

I swear to you, it was harder NOT to exercise.

Would you call that discipline? I just did everyday what I felt like I had to. The feeling of not doing it was worse than actually being there. I don’t know if I would call that discipline.

Maybe it’s also the fact that I see myself as someone very loyal, not fulfilling the task would be treason.


I hope you understand what I’m saying here. Just do what FEELS right. Set your own rules, your own mental daily tasks. For me, picking a certain time of day where I KNEW I could do the thing constantly worked, maybe for you too, maybe not, just do what feels right.

It’s your life, and for plenty you can set the rules.


I could end it right here but another good example is this blog. I post every day. I’ll post everyday until I feel like I don’t need to anymore. My time of day working here starts at about 16:30. I know at this time I can always write, so I do. I like what I do. It feels right. I don’t need discipline to work here.

I don't need discipline to work on a BUNCH of others projects. Projects that I work on everyday.


Hope you enjoyed the read and hopefully it’ll help you do whatever you want : )

All the best to you! See you tomorrow!
Imagine i'm in front of you talking about life really moving my hands and doing faces. That's basically how it looks like talking to me

Mental pillars

Made by
  Hope you enjoy the read : ) Today I’d like to talk about a concept I was thinking about today which I'm pretty sure already exists, but I didn’t search so for all I care I created it. Mental pillars. Mental pillars is the name I gave to describe what makes us behave the way we do, what makes us NOT allow ourselves to do certain things, and what defines our values. For example: If you’re in a relationship, and you’re someone really loyal, you have a strong mental pillar for loyalty. You WON’T allow yourself to cheat in any way, you’d feel horrible, it defines who you are. Another great example in my case specifically would be to ALWAYS do what I have to do every single day, like exercising to name one. It’s harder to skip a day of exercise. It’s how I am, who I am. I can’t betray myself. I hope it makes sense. All of this got me thinking about the things that we do, but wouldn’t like to. Drinking is a classic. Many people drink, they know it’s horrible for them, but they can’t r...

Eventually. It's greed and pride

Hope you enjoy the read! : ) If you’re wondering how I manage to think of things to write here, I literally just sit for about a minute and just write the first interesting thought that comes to mind. A while back, I faced myself with the question:  “When does it stop?” I wasn’t referring to when does the emotions stop, when does peace finally arrive no no no no no, I meant when will I be satisfied with all I achieved? When do I stop striving for more?  I imagine you might be a bit confused by that, but let me explain. A few days ago, at night time, I didn’t have work to do, I already did everything I had to, but I still wanted more, I wanted to go further, to work more, to be even greater. So I started thinking of another big skill that I could learn so that MR TAYRONE gets even better. It had to be something that I could do by myself, alone, and all it took was determination.  Learning a new language came to mind. Another one. I already speak 3 languages, Portuguese, En...

Ready for anxiety

  Hope you enjoy the read! : ) You know when you wake up on the absolute best side of the bed?  That’s how I woke up today. Anyway, today I’m talking about something that I don’t know how I didn’t talk about before. Everything happens when you’re ready for it. You’ll only be there where you wish to be when you’re ready. You get used to what you’re going through.  You might have heard from this topic already, but this is a really good ice cream I promise. So, what better way to explain a topic than by associating it to my life? : ) It’s easier this way as I really know what I’m saying. As some people may know, I work in a business as a CEO. Which means a TON of responsibilities, worries and meetings. It might sound… Hellish, but I like it, I was made for this. Throughout all this work, I’ve noticed the growth in my experience and in the pressure from everyone. As you might imagine, this tends to bring a bit of anxiety, and it did, but obviously anxiety shouldn’t stop you f...
