I remember watching this video like a year or so ago. I’ve always been trying to discipline myself, but I tried to do so many at a time, I never thought to only take on one task until it’s second nature to me like this video thought me. Now I have money in the bank for a rainy day. I get more out of my day. This video really was a stepping stone to where I’m still heading for in life today.
See, this was my problem. I tried to change everything all at once, and when I couldn't, guilt would take over me. If I wasn't perfect in everything, if I didn't study hard enough, if I didn't work out that day, then I would throw myself into a panic attack and convince myself it was the end of the world. Overcoming perfectionism is the first step, then habits.
@@lavenderpop3518 lol, you hit it right on the nail. I also found out I was autistic this year, which contributed heavily to that. Autism x cptsd x burnt out gifted student... The whole damn package 😂
Good things take time so take one step at a time Don't be in a rush to achieve everything. We're all humans with flaws and imperfections and that's OK. Thinking about future and trying hard are all important. But cherishing yourself and encouraging yourself and keeping yourself happy is the most important.
Crazy how this story is what actually happened to me. I lost my mom, leaving my older sister and I to figure out life on our own. I HAD to adapt to a routine that would be self disciplinary; so then it’ll keep me on the right tack towards success. A lot of temptations hit me everyday but I alternate it with going to the gym. Currently in my first semester of college and dedicating my education and career to my mother 🙏🏽. This video was the first thing I seen on my recommended and tapped in. Thanks for the information and motivation !
What I learned from this video : 1. Find your own why: To discipline yourself first you must find yourself a strong "why". 2. Focus on singular activities: If you want to improve your discipline, you must focus on one task only, and once it became a habit you can direct your willpower onto another. 3. Pre-planning for temptation: This will help you to avoid you having to exercise willpower to resist the temptation.
@@FushigiMigi write down all of your goals, short and long. then group them (ex. study for math test by doing practice problems > get As on all math exams > pass math class) do this until you’ve drained yourself of all goals and thoughts. then, find the one common thing in all the ‘big’ goals. (ex. if you ‘big’ goals are be rich, take care of parents, buy everything you want thag would be financial stability)
I can relate to the strong motivation. In high School I was at a 2.7 GPA going into my Junior year. One night, about midway through Junior year, my dad came out of his room drenched in sweat and looking very very sick during a family party. I knew he was showing signs of a heart attack because coincidentally, I had hung-out with a friend of mine who's dad was recovering from one. I had to beg my family to take him to the hospital and he indeed had a heart attack while at the ER. The morning after he told me I had saved his life. If he hadn't gone in he would've passed away. I can't describe to you guys how I felt that night or the nights following on how I could stoop so low with my education and be so bad at life. I was smart but I was being dragged down by girls, the friends I surrounded myself with, and to some extent partying but above all it was my doing. I was lazy, had no motivation, etc etc. All these realizations came as a result of losing the one man who saw more in me than anyone else. The rest of that year I did everything with a chip on my shoulder. I refused to be average or to have no chance at going to college. From Junior year to the end of senior year, I didn't fall below a 4.0 and I retook enough classes that my GPA went up to a 3.6 by the time college applications came around. There was plenty of crying, plenty of "I cant solve this problem" because I never tried in my life but all it took was discipline and the drive to keep going. I got into a few schools, and now I'm going into my second year as a Mechanical Engineering Major. Discipline is everything. I still have my fall-outs in school but each time its a learning lesson rather than something I didn't put enough effort into. Invest in yourself, discipline yourself, set goals and you won't believe how quickly things will turn around. These past two years have been some of the best of my life and it all came from one of the worst time periods of my life.
Ughnotuagain Ughnotuagain Just because it's using pathos doesn't mean it's reliable. Often times it's not, because you're using emotion to persuade, which have less credibility than facts (although the latter half of this video does use logos). Also this video is trying to inform, not persuade, so I don't think pathos really applies here
He did have a choice to cook or not cook to his sister. He did have a choice of how much effort to put into studies and weather to continue them at all. I don't think it matters if he had choice in the beginning. I think the point is largely that having to force himself to go to work every day, no matter if he had real choice or not, helped him become more self disciplined, which then helped him in his later endeavors. Even if it looks like he had no choice, he still had to battle his old habits, tiredness, etc.
Building self Discipline~ 1- Have a strong reason why 2-Focus on one task only, when one task becomes a habit, add another one 3- Pre plan for temptation
I did something similar to this. I had a strong reason, help my mom, and the singular activity was clean the kitchen everyday after school. Now doing dishes, bacum, and making sure everything is clean is something I do every day when I get home from school. It's nice since I'm not forcing myself to do it, I just do it because I'm used to it.
I'm currently practicing self discipline. Drinking and smoking were almost a daily habit for me. I set a self goal for at least 6 months sober. Proud to say I'm 2 months down and 10 pounds lighter! It helps so much to have motivation and feedback.
I saw this video some months back and I just wanted to come back and say thank you. I am a writer who has been struggling with block for years but implementing what you recommended here, especially building the habit really helped turned me around. Since then I've completed three stories and am actively trying to get my work published now. Thanks man. I wish you all success in life.

just like everyone else, self-degrading yourself and tell people only about how incompetent you are, so those idiots on the internet didn't feel so bad about themselves, when the fact is you are skilled as hell Hint: no mediocre incompetent people can get into Harvard
@@Ale-xv1un I'm not skilled, but I notice people self-degrading his/her achievement so other people wont feel so bad, they tend to say I'm just lucky or I do something effortless, but I success any way they make it sounds like its easily achievable by everyone, my guess is, they want to get praise from people, the more incompetent you look, the more praise you get because majority of people love easy to rich story, and it's making a lot of bias a lot of people become naive because they hear the wrong side of a success story and, they underestimate how hard it is to achieve it, and it cost so many unnecessary loss
Nietzsche used to say that he could sum up in a sentence what other authors told in an entire book. Nowadays he does the same but with a 5 minute video. He said "He who has a why can bare almost any how". Thats the video.
- i have to work everyday - workout almost everyday - diet everyday to gain weight - brush teeth and shower everyday those are my four dicipline things. but i keep losing grip on them.
focus on one thing once you get control of one thing move on to the other. Don’t do everything so fast. Focus on work. Then focus on workout. Then diet. And you know the rest
niko23 what do you do if you have no choice but to focus on many things at once? That’s what I don’t understand about this, if you want to be come discipline, you don’t focus on other that are just as important at all? That makes no sense
Whenever I find myself on the verge of giving up, I watch this video and I remember the reasons why I'm trying so hard in the first place. This story is really inspiring, and I know a lot of people can identify with it. Thank you for creating this video.
Hello, person scrolling through the comments I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you you looked at this video because you have goals in life I'm so proud of you for making the first step ! 😊
This is actually better than all self-discipline tips I've ever watched. It was always "have this schedule", "make a to-do list", "have this on your list" it's just so.....lengthy and feels like a waste of time. Except this one is "make one activity a habit before you move on to another"!!!! This speaks volumes why didn't I ever think of that? it's genius! completely simple but powerful!! Thank you so much for this! Have a great day everyone!
I watched it twice, first time I thought it was an amazing video. And then the second time around, I realized how very thought out each word you said was to match what you say in the end. This is quality right here.
Great insights! Discipline is truly the foundation of success. One thing that stands out is the idea that discipline is a muscle- the more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. I’ve found that breaking big goals into small, manageable tasks not only makes them less overwhelming but also builds consistency over time. Accountability and having a clear ‘why’ are key drivers, too. When you understand the deeper reason behind your actions, it becomes easier to push through challenges. Thanks for sharing these practical tips-definitely something to apply daily!
August 17, 2020 I'll come back to this video after a few months, to see if I accomplished turning my goals into habits. To my future self, I'm proud of you. Fighting!
Most of my friends calls me Lucas and when I saw this video, I instantly got hit deep, not because the main character was named Lucas, it’s because he had a single mother and a sister in which fits in the same category as me. I’m 19 years old and this video almost told the life that I’m having , thanks to this video and now I have the chance to appreciate more my family and move on
This video beautifully illustrates the power of discipline and how small, consistent actions lead to success. The animation made the concept so easy to understand and relatable. Definitely taking these lessons to heart - time to apply more discipline in my daily life! Great job on the storytelling!
Yeah this is my problem. I try doing so many things at once and it overwhelms me, to where I don’t end up doing any of them, or I half ass do all of them.
The idea that self-esteem is nurtured through recognizing one's unique strengths hit home for me. Exploring and celebrating my individual strengths has significantly contributed to building a positive self-image.
Great Video. I needed this kind of advice. The most important point was that focusing on one thing helps to create a habit, and the next time you need a less willpower. Really awesome.
Ways to become more disciplined: 1. Finding his strong reason why 2. Developing discipline through singular activities 3. Pre-planning for temptation (cám dỗ)
Thank you for this video. I liked the idea around 3:20, that to grow self-discipline, you focus on one activity, create habits there, and then shift your focus towards other activity.
DAvid Macias and then he became a super sayan, first because he wanted to make his father proud, second, when he became super sayan 2, because he wanted revenge. Nice link man
This was a great lesson with a reasonable and realistic solution that everyone can practice. I am definitely going to implement this and become more disciplined. Loved the portrayal!!!
Thank you, Freedom In Thought. This was a well-made video and it has great points! Remembering that motivation is finite and "spending" it in a singular focus on an activity, specifically to develop a habit, and anticipating, then planning ahead to create automated decisions and protocols, instead of reacting, has such a great effect on willpower and mental calm in spite of multiple seemingly urgent voices crying for our attention but actually distracting us and dragging us back down. Protecting the growth. Brilliant.
interesting thing is that I've started doing that for a couple of weeks now (I hadn't watched this video then). It began with refusing to get help from close members of family. I have started doing part time jobs to be able to afford food. now I'm focused on learning how to cook and also how to eat healthy. The hardest part is how not to succumb to old habits. cause family is always there to offer help and friends are there to pressure you back to the old you. I think this video would be of some help about that problem.
3 Years after watching this video and I still haven't changed, every time I say "this time will be different, I can start balancing multiple things at the same time" and every time I just fail and say the same thing again. Now I gave up and will start with just one thing at a time.
So I'm not the only one that failed first time because I tried doing everything at once. (I'm better now but I still need to work on myself.) And people, please remember that just because you felt lazy one day and didn't get done what you wanted to get done doesn't mean you have failed. There's still a tomorrow and a new tomorrow means a new chance to get on track again. *GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!* ^_^
This video speaks to me in so many ways. I always tried to pick up many things to discipline myself into doing at once, but I usually got burned out and gave up on all of them. I'll try again, but one at a time this time.
oh my goodness! by chance i came to your channel and it was so inspiring. man i love the story and fell in love with the character. definitely we people require this type of things more often. please post more and more . lots of love from india
This is a video that i think many people should watch to pratice discipline. Because it's really useful and good . I think that's my driving force now.
Christine D. Because he imagined all of it. The real story is he couldn't help partying. His sister suffered because he wasn't there and he felt self pity and guilt and so turned to drugs where he can dream this brave heroic story. And they lived happily ever after
Lessons start at 2:20 Cliff Notes: 1. Have a strong compelling reason why 2. Develop discipline through singular activities (it's like a muscle) 3. Pre-plan for temptation
I suffer from borderline personality disorder, and because of my emotional breakdowns, I usually begin to feel an overwhelming anxiety and stress, out of normal ranges that used to make me a less disciplined person, so I have been fucking things up for months now. I now understand that if I want to achieve my goals and recover many valuable things in my life, like my old healthy habits, besides psychotherapy, I must get more disciplined and not letting my emotions pulling me away from my tasks. What I've certainly been doing wrong is that I try to recover all my old healthy habits and gaining new ones at the same time, so I just burn out myself and feel bad at night. I promise to come back next year to this comment and tell you that I made it and that I'm living a better life. Thanks for the tale!
I got a 2.0 gpa this year in 10th grade, always grew up with every teacher call me extremely smart but also extremely lazy, this video makes me wanna try again

@@briandiehl9257 Hello! At the moment, I have a planner where I schedule out my tomorrows neatly. In order to keep myself accountable and motivated, I use the bullet journal method in crossing out finished tasks. I lay out my plan for the next day each night. I also mentally prepare myself for tomorrow before I go to bed. There are still days where I can't get myself to get up and do as I planned, but I can see improvements in my vices and virtues. I am more conscious of my thoughts and my body; I meditate more regularly. I made it a point to exercise through my own volition. It is really unfortunate that I am unable to do what used to come easy to me; flexibility for example. It has been difficult to accept that I'm not as fit as I used to be because it has been months since my last serious training. I am far from prime fitness, but I am determined to continue the accumulation of good habits and eliminate bad habits. Today I chose to take care of my mind and body. How are you doing?

Hello, @@vast3232! So from what I understood, you sometimes are in a "good boy" state and other times in a "cool bro" state. You sometimes act responsibly but around your friends you act like you don't care and you're all cool? I guess it's pretty much about prioritizing. What do you think will matter more in the future? Being seen as cool and nonchalant right now or having a more secure road to an accomplished life now and in the future? Which sounds better? When you say your 'dude state' is simply uncontrollable, then it really will be uncontrollable. The thing is, it's not 'uncontrollable' if you don't let it. You can't control most things in your life, but luckily what you can control is *yourself*. You can do this! :D
@@janetheobscure3426 thanks for the advice , i will write more to you in the near future about my accomplishment , meanwhile i will subscribe to you so that we wont be apart . Thanks that you recognized my state , its exactly cool bro, who is just a showoff,

This kind of thing actually lead to a stable emotional of happiness, fullness, and tiredness. He have a strong will and believe he just have to do it. It doesn't have to be that great of happiness but small daily happiness to see the one we love still there and we're doing our best for both.

@@Nancy-yi9xd Hi! I was preparing to go back to college again for studying Masters, and was struggling to keep up with the studies for the entrance exam. This year I gave the exams and cleared it! Will get into a good college soon... 😇😇 thank you for asking! 🙏🙏 Hope you are doing well 😇
damn it I feel so reliable to this ! as the oldest sister I have to take care of my little brothers 6 and 8 years old, my mom works as a secretary and sometimes her health worries me. she overthinks and it doesn't help with her blood pressure. she is 42 but who knows what could happen. Also the father of my brother is in jail so, If my mom dies Im gonna be the tutor of my brothers. PLUS I'm already a mom 4years old. I'm studying human resources thanks to my mom. that means I have to take care of 3 children at the same time and in comparison with Lucas her sister wasn't a little kid. So yeah, whenever procastination or depression hits ... I think of all this and then I act.
Ranganath Vaikuntham yeah Ikr, well my mom had me at the age of 18 and I at 19 (but in my case I already had a work and graduated from high school) but both grandparents of my mom died when she was 14 so that explains a lot, also I was raised by my dad and my grandma since my mom was not mentally capable to take that responsibility, what I mean with all this is there are more hard realities than the example of the video. which is a great example and pretty common, I'm not trolling or anything just sharing my experience and yes, you can get through. just need a strong Will. do the things even if you don't feel like it. that makes the difference. There are other stories that are tougher than mine way more ! so yes, you can get through anything there are no rules to this life.
This video helped me decide to get clean off pain pills, I've spent the last four days sick as hell on my couch kicking. I'm on methadone maintenance. I'm hoping I'm through the worst of it now. I'm taking control of my own life.
Thank you for this advice. I have really struggled with self discipline all my life, it is the thorn in my side and has prevented me from doing the things I want. The steps in the video are very simple and some i had never heard before but seems very effective. Today i am starting a two day fast, focusing soley on that, using this process. I really appreciate your work thankyou again.
How did Lucas went through college and still could afford living while having only a half-time job? That's kind of impossible considering the price of education in America, at least.
Bruh, this is so simple and yet so important... Thanks for the video bro. I'll come back here in a year or so, or even when my life will get better than it is right now. I'll let y'all know.
How I became disciplined: I had a mental breakdown from working too hard. I thought I was lazy and worked harder, but I couldn't. My grades were terrible and I realized I was overworked and stayed home for three weeks. The day I went to school again I heard my aunt had just a few more weeks to live. I became a bit suicidal. She died a month later. (Then I wasn't suicidal anymore, don't worry). I got behind with school again. I needed to pass the fifth grade or go to a lower niveau on another school. I knew I would feel worse if I didn't pass, so I worked unbalievably hard (12 hours a day, everyday, with barely a break, for two months) although I knew I would overwork myself again, but that was okay if I would break in the summer vacation. But I broke two weeks too soon, worked on anyway, and got my second mental breakdowns in four months. And that, people, is how you get discipline and pass school. Can someone please tell me how to enjoy life because I didn't have free time without feeling guilty about homework since the first grade. And does someone know how to get rid of the self control because I hate always controlling myself. Thank you
I have 15 Big Acne on my face, I'm skinny Tall and don't have self control. One of the reason I have a problem with Acne because I don't Control my Diet I ate sweet and Junk Foods. I madturbate 4 Times a Week now I look Zombie. Be thankfull for what you have for now.. Because not all people has self control.. I spent almost 1 year freely because I avoid to the people. I hate that they see me for what I am now.. So don't waste yourself for nonsense..
5th grade? Not to be rude but I heavily doubt you had to work 12h a day. The administration even told us that in elementary school, more then 1 hour of hw is not alowed and if we do spend more then one, we need to talk to our teacher
3:30 - - Focus on 1 task only. 3:43 - - Key - - Be wise with how you spend your self-discipline. 3:47 - - Use discipline on SINGULAR activities BEFORE moving on to another activity. 3:57 - - When an activity becomes a HABIT it drains a lot less willpower.
I feel this. I went from not working out and eating unhealthily to completely overhauling my diet and working out 5 days a week. Went great for the first 3 weeks but as soon as I missed a day the motivation disappeared. I want to try again but this time not force so much upon myself at once. I hope it works.
I remember watching this video like a year or so ago. I’ve always been trying to discipline myself, but I tried to do so many at a time, I never thought to only take on one task until it’s second nature to me like this video thought me.

Overcoming perfectionism is the first step, then habits.

What I learned from this video :
1. Find your own why: To discipline yourself first you must find yourself a strong "why".
2. Focus on singular activities: If you want to improve your discipline, you must focus on one task only, and once it became a habit you can direct your willpower onto another.
3. Pre-planning for temptation: This will help you to avoid you having to exercise willpower to resist the temptation.
How do you find your why?
@@FushigiMigi write down all of your goals, short and long. then group them (ex. study for math test by doing practice problems > get As on all math exams > pass math class) do this until you’ve drained yourself of all goals and thoughts. then, find the one common thing in all the ‘big’ goals.

I can relate to the strong motivation. In high School I was at a 2.7 GPA going into my Junior year. One night, about midway through Junior year, my dad came out of his room drenched in sweat and looking very very sick during a family party. I knew he was showing signs of a heart attack because coincidentally, I had hung-out with a friend of mine who's dad was recovering from one. I had to beg my family to take him to the hospital and he indeed had a heart attack while at the ER. The morning after he told me I had saved his life. If he hadn't gone in he would've passed away.
I can't describe to you guys how I felt that night or the nights following on how I could stoop so low with my education and be so bad at life. I was smart but I was being dragged down by girls, the friends I surrounded myself with, and to some extent partying but above all it was my doing. I was lazy, had no motivation, etc etc. All these realizations came as a result of losing the one man who saw more in me than anyone else.
The rest of that year I did everything with a chip on my shoulder. I refused to be average or to have no chance at going to college. From Junior year to the end of senior year, I didn't fall below a 4.0 and I retook enough classes that my GPA went up to a 3.6 by the time college applications came around. There was plenty of crying, plenty of "I cant solve this problem" because I never tried in my life but all it took was discipline and the drive to keep going. I got into a few schools, and now I'm going into my second year as a Mechanical Engineering Major.
Discipline is everything. I still have my fall-outs in school but each time its a learning lesson rather than something I didn't put enough effort into. Invest in yourself, discipline yourself, set goals and you won't believe how quickly things will turn around.
These past two years have been some of the best of my life and it all came from one of the worst time periods of my life.

I like how instead of throwing facts you tell a story. Beautiful animation!
Caleb if it's the same accurate information, how does a story make it unreliable?
Caleb Thats not true. It ceates an emotional connection with the audience. Thats "pathos" from rhetoric
Ughnotuagain Ughnotuagain
No shit.

Dumbass.
Ughnotuagain Ughnotuagain Just because it's using pathos doesn't mean it's reliable. Often times it's not, because you're using emotion to persuade, which have less credibility than facts (although the latter half of this video does use logos). Also this video is trying to inform, not persuade, so I don't think pathos really applies here
Very Very good video
1. Finding his strong reason why
2. Developing discipline through singular activities
3. pre-planning for temptation
How did he do it? *He didn't have a choice.*
he did have a choice between do or die
Vanessa Pareja isn't that an ultimatum?
EyemanYT yes ultimatums are the best
Amen Computer!
He did have a choice to cook or not cook to his sister. He did have a choice of how much effort to put into studies and weather to continue them at all.
I don't think it matters if he had choice in the beginning. I think the point is largely that having to force himself to go to work every day, no matter if he had real choice or not, helped him become more self disciplined, which then helped him in his later endeavors. Even if it looks like he had no choice, he still had to battle his old habits, tiredness, etc.
Building self Discipline~
1- Have a strong reason why
2-Focus on one task only, when one task becomes a habit, add another one
3- Pre plan for temptation

I did something similar to this. I had a strong reason, help my mom, and the singular activity was clean the kitchen everyday after school. Now doing dishes, bacum, and making sure everything is clean is something I do every day when I get home from school.
It's nice since I'm not forcing myself to do it, I just do it because I'm used to it.

I'm currently practicing self discipline. Drinking and smoking were almost a daily habit for me. I set a self goal for at least 6 months sober. Proud to say I'm 2 months down and 10 pounds lighter! It helps so much to have motivation and feedback.

But why does Lucas always look so sad?

Because he suffers from a burn-out, that is

How the hell did lucas into Harvard
An unanswered question for which I would love the answer. The stereotypical lazy genius.
@Thezebaherd Discipline. :D
@Thezebraherd Or he simply had it in him and he decided to believe in himself. Or Love, love of his sister. And love of his mother, which probably would have wanted to see his son in a prestigious school.
just like everyone else, self-degrading yourself and tell people only about how incompetent you are,
so those idiots on the internet didn't feel so bad about themselves,
when the fact is you are skilled as hell
Hint: no mediocre incompetent people can get into Harvard
@@Ale-xv1un I'm not skilled, but I notice people self-degrading his/her achievement so other people wont feel so bad,
they tend to say I'm just lucky or I do something effortless, but I success any way
they make it sounds like its easily achievable by everyone,
my guess is, they want to get praise from people, the more incompetent you look, the more praise you get
because majority of people love easy to rich story,
and it's making a lot of bias
a lot of people become naive because they hear the wrong side of a success story and, they underestimate
how hard it is to achieve it, and it cost so many unnecessary loss
I love how it was told as a story! It's SOOOO much easier to remember the tricks than any other self-discipline video!
Nietzsche used to say that he could sum up in a sentence what other authors told in an entire book. Nowadays he does the same but with a 5 minute video. He said "He who has a why can bare almost any how". Thats the video.

Make One step at a time..
focus on one thing once you get control of one thing move on to the other. Don’t do everything so fast. Focus on work. Then focus on workout. Then diet. And you know the rest
Lol same
niko23 what do you do if you have no choice but to focus on many things at once? That’s what I don’t understand about this, if you want to be come discipline, you don’t focus on other that are just as important at all? That makes no sense
Thank you for this. The peer pressure is the hardest aspect I’ve found so far.
Yap me too🥲
Whenever I find myself on the verge of giving up, I watch this video and I remember the reasons why I'm trying so hard in the first place. This story is really inspiring, and I know a lot of people can identify with it. Thank you for creating this video.
Hello, person scrolling through the comments I just wanted to say I'm so proud of you you looked at this video because you have goals in life I'm so proud of you for making the first step ! 😊
This is actually better than all self-discipline tips I've ever watched. It was always "have this schedule", "make a to-do list", "have this on your list" it's just so.....lengthy and feels like a waste of time. Except this one is "make one activity a habit before you move on to another"!!!! This speaks volumes why didn't I ever think of that? it's genius! completely simple but powerful!! Thank you so much for this! Have a great day everyone!
I watched it twice, first time I thought it was an amazing video. And then the second time around, I realized how very thought out each word you said was to match what you say in the end. This is quality right here.
Great insights! Discipline is truly the foundation of success. One thing that stands out is the idea that discipline is a muscle- the more you exercise it, the stronger it becomes. I’ve found that breaking big goals into small, manageable tasks not only makes them less overwhelming but also builds consistency over time. Accountability and having a clear ‘why’ are key drivers, too. When you understand the deeper reason behind your actions, it becomes easier to push through challenges. Thanks for sharing these practical tips-definitely something to apply daily!
August 17, 2020
I'll come back to this video after a few months, to see if I accomplished turning my goals into habits. To my future self, I'm proud of you. Fighting!
Whoop whoop!
Hey????
Most of my friends calls me Lucas and when I saw this video, I instantly got hit deep, not because the main character was named Lucas, it’s because he had a single mother and a sister in which fits in the same category as me. I’m 19 years old and this video almost told the life that I’m having , thanks to this video and now I have the chance to appreciate more my family and move on
This video beautifully illustrates the power of discipline and how small, consistent actions lead to success. The animation made the concept so easy to understand and relatable. Definitely taking these lessons to heart - time to apply more discipline in my daily life! Great job on the storytelling!
So proud of Lucas. Keep it up bro
RUCHIT KHARWA Thanks 🙂

Stupid boi, get your ass disciplined
Yeah this is my problem. I try doing so many things at once and it overwhelms me, to where I don’t end up doing any of them, or I half ass do all of them.
The idea that self-esteem is nurtured through recognizing one's unique strengths hit home for me. Exploring and celebrating my individual strengths has significantly contributed to building a positive self-image.
Great Video. I needed this kind of advice. The most important point was that focusing on one thing helps to create a habit, and the next time you need a less willpower. Really awesome.
Just clicked because my name is Lucas
Lucas Beltrán So you saw the video before clicking it?

Ways to become more disciplined:
1. Finding his strong reason why
2. Developing discipline through singular activities
3. Pre-planning for temptation (cám dỗ)
Thank you for making the video public again
Thank you for this video. I liked the idea around 3:20, that to grow self-discipline, you focus on one activity, create habits there, and then shift your focus towards other activity.
This video reminds me of what Goku told Gohan when he was teaching him how to become a super saiyan. "It has to come from a NEED"
DAvid Macias and then he became a super sayan, first because he wanted to make his father proud, second, when he became super sayan 2, because he wanted revenge. Nice link man
anime characters are great motivators tbh
Ayyyy OtakU
I need to implement the "if-then" strategy whenever I'm tempted. Watching this for my morning motivation is a great start !
This was a great lesson with a reasonable and realistic solution that everyone can practice. I am definitely going to implement this and become more disciplined. Loved the portrayal!!!
This video really helped me know that responsibility brings discipline and that brings us into the world of goodness
Thank you, Freedom In Thought. This was a well-made video and it has great points! Remembering that motivation is finite and "spending" it in a singular focus on an activity, specifically to develop a habit, and anticipating, then planning ahead to create automated decisions and protocols, instead of reacting, has such a great effect on willpower and mental calm in spite of multiple seemingly urgent voices crying for our attention but actually distracting us and dragging us back down. Protecting the growth. Brilliant.
Idk why but i was so intrigued in this story i was thinking all the time “pls let lucas win this pls” AND HE DID YAAYY
interesting thing is that I've started doing that for a couple of weeks now (I hadn't watched this video then). It began with refusing to get help from close members of family. I have started doing part time jobs to be able to afford food. now I'm focused on learning how to cook and also how to eat healthy. The hardest part is how not to succumb to old habits. cause family is always there to offer help and friends are there to pressure you back to the old you. I think this video would be of some help about that problem.
3 Years after watching this video and I still haven't changed, every time I say "this time will be different, I can start balancing multiple things at the same time" and every time I just fail and say the same thing again. Now I gave up and will start with just one thing at a time.
He doesn’t look happy. But everyone around him does. Is this the secret message?
THIS! He is completely socially withdrawn from his friends! He is a teen he needs to go out too with people, it’s normal and healthy.
Lukas just has a really good poker face
So I'm not the only one that failed first time because I tried doing everything at once. (I'm better now but I still need to work on myself.)
And people, please remember that just because you felt lazy one day and didn't get done what you wanted to get done doesn't mean you have failed. There's still a tomorrow and a new tomorrow means a new chance to get on track again.
*GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!* ^_^
God sometimes the problems that seem most difficult really do just break down simply. Wonderful video :)
the problem with me not being disciplined and not doing what I'm supposed to be doing or what I really want to do is because I think of it as a chore.
I keep telling myself, “one task at a time, one task at a time” but it’s so hard. I will definitely try again.
This video speaks to me in so many ways. I always tried to pick up many things to discipline myself into doing at once, but I usually got burned out and gave up on all of them. I'll try again, but one at a time this time.
oh my goodness! by chance i came to your channel and it was so inspiring. man i love the story and fell in love with the character. definitely we people require this type of things more often. please post more and more . lots of love from india
Love how this video started off with an example to make the step by step “how”s more concrete. Nice vid! Thanks. Subscribed :)
This is a video that i think many people should watch to pratice discipline. Because it's really useful and good . I think that's my driving force now.
..but why is Lucas still not smiling?
Christine D. Because he imagined all of it. The real story is he couldn't help partying. His sister suffered because he wasn't there and he felt self pity and guilt and so turned to drugs where he can dream this brave heroic story.
And they lived happily ever after
John Smith damn that was deep
... They will never understand
because he had a shitty exhausting live and is just tired of it...

Lessons start at 2:20
Cliff Notes:
1. Have a strong compelling reason why
2. Develop discipline through singular activities (it's like a muscle)
3. Pre-plan for temptation
I suffer from borderline personality disorder, and because of my emotional breakdowns, I usually begin to feel an overwhelming anxiety and stress, out of normal ranges that used to make me a less disciplined person, so I have been fucking things up for months now. I now understand that if I want to achieve my goals and recover many valuable things in my life, like my old healthy habits, besides psychotherapy, I must get more disciplined and not letting my emotions pulling me away from my tasks. What I've certainly been doing wrong is that I try to recover all my old healthy habits and gaining new ones at the same time, so I just burn out myself and feel bad at night. I promise to come back next year to this comment and tell you that I made it and that I'm living a better life. Thanks for the tale!

@@briandiehl9257 Hello!
At the moment, I have a planner where I schedule out my tomorrows neatly. In order to keep myself accountable and motivated, I use the bullet journal method in crossing out finished tasks. I lay out my plan for the next day each night. I also mentally prepare myself for tomorrow before I go to bed. There are still days where I can't get myself to get up and do as I planned, but I can see improvements in my vices and virtues. I am more conscious of my thoughts and my body; I meditate more regularly. I made it a point to exercise through my own volition. It is really unfortunate that I am unable to do what used to come easy to me; flexibility for example. It has been difficult to accept that I'm not as fit as I used to be because it has been months since my last serious training. I am far from prime fitness, but I am determined to continue the accumulation of good habits and eliminate bad habits.
Today I chose to take care of my mind and body.
How are you doing?

Hello, @@vast3232!
So from what I understood, you sometimes are in a "good boy" state and other times in a "cool bro" state. You sometimes act responsibly but around your friends you act like you don't care and you're all cool?
I guess it's pretty much about prioritizing. What do you think will matter more in the future? Being seen as cool and nonchalant right now or having a more secure road to an accomplished life now and in the future? Which sounds better?
When you say your 'dude state' is simply uncontrollable, then it really will be uncontrollable. The thing is, it's not 'uncontrollable' if you don't let it. You can't control most things in your life, but luckily what you can control is *yourself*.
You can do this! :D

@@Nancy-yi9xd Hi! I was preparing to go back to college again for studying Masters, and was struggling to keep up with the studies for the entrance exam. This year I gave the exams and cleared it! Will get into a good college soon... 😇😇 thank you for asking! 🙏🙏 Hope you are doing well 😇
I'm proud of you Lucas.
" Once I was 7 years old..."
Awesome. We must love this video. This is called the power of repetition or focus.
What a great video! It motivated me to end up my goals and turn around my life. Never give up guys. You would never lose unless you want to.
I suggest my channel for the people who want to build his future
damn it I feel so reliable to this !
as the oldest sister I have to take care of my little brothers 6 and 8 years old, my mom works as a secretary and sometimes her health worries me. she overthinks and it doesn't help with her blood pressure. she is 42 but who knows what could happen. Also the father of my brother is in jail so,
If my mom dies Im gonna be the tutor of my brothers.
PLUS I'm already a mom 4years old. I'm studying human resources thanks to my mom. that means I have to take care of 3 children at the same time and in comparison with Lucas her sister wasn't a little kid.
So yeah, whenever procastination or depression hits ... I think of all this and then I act.
Tania Sugimura Don't know if you're trolling , but good luck.
Ranganath Vaikuntham ? no, believe me we all have different lifes.
Tania Sugimura I'm just surprised that you have a kid of 4 years old. Considering your mom is only 42.
I mean my mother had her first child at age 17 so it's not exactly uncommon.
Ranganath Vaikuntham yeah Ikr, well my mom had me at the age of 18 and I at 19 (but in my case I already had a work and graduated from high school) but both grandparents of my mom died when she was 14 so that explains a lot, also I was raised by my dad and my grandma since my mom was not mentally capable to take that responsibility, what I mean with all this is there are more hard realities than the example of the video. which is a great example and pretty common, I'm not trolling or anything just sharing my experience and yes, you can get through. just need a strong Will. do the things even if you don't feel like it. that makes the difference.
There are other stories that are tougher than mine way more ! so yes, you can get through anything there are no rules to this life.
This video appeared in my home screen exactly at the time I needed it. It’s amazing.
The next video recommended to me is "why self discipline is hard?"

Yeaa, that's make sanse
Having a strong direction. To make your life better. Is the key to success.
The thing is not only limited to doing one task at a time..but sticking to that one task until its completed is also an achievement in itself !
going to do 1 hour of homework because of this, thank you.
This video helped me decide to get clean off pain pills, I've spent the last four days sick as hell on my couch kicking. I'm on methadone maintenance. I'm hoping I'm through the worst of it now. I'm taking control of my own life.
Thank you for this advice. I have really struggled with self discipline all my life, it is the thorn in my side and has prevented me from doing the things I want. The steps in the video are very simple and some i had never heard before but seems very effective. Today i am starting a two day fast, focusing soley on that, using this process. I really appreciate your work thankyou again.
Damon Sumner watch motivational videos often too, it'll really help you build yourself back up to a self sufficient and confident person
So, what's up now?
How did Lucas went through college and still could afford living while having only a half-time job? That's kind of impossible considering the price of education in America, at least.
Student loans are a thing... You don't have to pay them off until after you graduate.
There's also scholarship and financial assistance for low income families
Like cheese fries said, there’s tons of help for low income families; and in this case, Lucas was as low income as most people can get
Ah and cook everyday! Man, with a part time job you can’t keep a house and two people alive... sorry it’s the truth
I was literally paid to go to college with FAFSA because of my low income haha. No loans either.
Bruh, this is so simple and yet so important... Thanks for the video bro. I'll come back here in a year or so, or even when my life will get better than it is right now. I'll let y'all know.
Lucas is a real person , this story till his college graduation is real !

How I became disciplined:
I had a mental breakdown from working too hard. I thought I was lazy and worked harder, but I couldn't. My grades were terrible and I realized I was overworked and stayed home for three weeks. The day I went to school again I heard my aunt had just a few more weeks to live. I became a bit suicidal. She died a month later. (Then I wasn't suicidal anymore, don't worry). I got behind with school again. I needed to pass the fifth grade or go to a lower niveau on another school. I knew I would feel worse if I didn't pass, so I worked unbalievably hard (12 hours a day, everyday, with barely a break, for two months) although I knew I would overwork myself again, but that was okay if I would break in the summer vacation. But I broke two weeks too soon, worked on anyway, and got my second mental breakdowns in four months.
And that, people, is how you get discipline and pass school.
Can someone please tell me how to enjoy life because I didn't have free time without feeling guilty about homework since the first grade. And does someone know how to get rid of the self control because I hate always controlling myself. Thank you
well, first, you should really seek some help. i mean, really.
Eeyore Piglet the fifth grade?!?
this happend in 5th grade? what are you studying 12h/day
I have 15 Big Acne on my face, I'm skinny Tall and don't have self control. One of the reason I have a problem with Acne because I don't Control my Diet I ate sweet and Junk Foods. I madturbate 4 Times a Week now I look Zombie. Be thankfull for what you have for now.. Because not all people has self control.. I spent almost 1 year freely because I avoid to the people. I hate that they see me for what I am now.. So don't waste yourself for nonsense..
5th grade? Not to be rude but I heavily doubt you had to work 12h a day. The administration even told us that in elementary school, more then 1 hour of hw is not alowed and if we do spend more then one, we need to talk to our teacher
This is the video that changed my whole life for the better back when I watched in 2019
So thank you!
Also he went to work every single day no matter how he felt😊
3:30 - - Focus on 1 task only. 3:43 - - Key - - Be wise with how you spend your self-discipline.
3:47 - - Use discipline on SINGULAR activities BEFORE moving on to another activity.
3:57 - - When an activity becomes a HABIT it drains a lot less willpower.
I feel this. I went from not working out and eating unhealthily to completely overhauling my diet and working out 5 days a week. Went great for the first 3 weeks but as soon as I missed a day the motivation disappeared. I want to try again but this time not force so much upon myself at once. I hope it works.
