The Anterior Midcingulate Cortex (aMCC) is a key region of your brain that controls tenacity and willpower. Continuously investing in things that are hard, uncomfortable and cause short-term displeasure, help you maintain and grow your willpower. Doing it once is not enough. It’s a life long journey of choosing a path of higher resistance.

Be disciplined. Motivation is a short-lived emotion that fluctuates over time. Anyone can be motivated. It is reactionary and dictated by our mood.

Discipline is intrinsic. It’s developed over time and keeps us going when the motivation runs out. No one is born with discipline. It is learned.
