31 minutes ago
I just spent 85 hours completely off the grid with no cell service or wifi.
I haven't felt this good for a long time.
What I learned:
- How to live in the present
- How to escape the dopamine loop of devices and social media
- Why your peer group matters - a lot
...and much more.
Thank you for listening and please enjoy!

Motivation vs. Discipline - Take Action
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
League of Wildness,
Motivation and Discipline are two very different concepts that I believe often times get confused and/or misused.
Motivation is all in your mind and discipline is all in your actions.
You are what you did so make sure you are taking action and not just getting excited/motivated to potentially do something.
