Episode 3447:

Greg Audino dives into the delicate balance between discipline and living in the moment, challenging the idea that these approaches are mutually exclusive. He outlines a practical strategy for blending structure with spontaneity, helping you align your daily actions with your core values and rediscover purpose.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/@gregglesaudino/staying-disciplined-vs-living-in-the-moment-47ddcd073a1b

Quotes to ponder:

"Discipline can force you out of bad habits, allow steady growth, and make progress easy to track."

"Living in the moment eliminates obligations and lets each day be something new, giving a glimpse of who you really are."

"Real variation lies in drawing from both discipline and spontaneity; the balance is more than attainable with practice."
