Why am I writing this
For years, I thought discipline was the answer.
Wake up early. Do the work. Stick to the plan.
And for a while, it worked — until it didn’t.
Because discipline will get you started, but it won’t keep you going when logic says stop.
What keeps you going then, is obsession.
1 Insight
Discipline is about control. Obsession is about surrender.
Discipline says “I have to.” Obsession says “I can’t not.”
The most extraordinary people aren’t just consistent — they’re consumed. Their curiosity burns through boredom, rejection, and fatigue.
When your identity fuses with the craft, it’s no longer about willpower. It’s gravity.
1 Habit
Follow the pull, not the checklist.
You can’t schedule obsession, but you can notice what you keep returning to.
The thing you think about in the shower. The tab you never close. The problem that feels personal.
Structure your life around what you’d chase even if nobody paid you.
That’s how discipline becomes effortless — because you’re no longer forcing yourself forward, you’re being pulled.
1 Story
Elon Musk once said
he doesn’t want to start companies — he just can’t stop thinking about certain problems.
Reusable rockets. Planetary survival.
The kind of questions that keep him awake.
He’s not driven by structure.
He’s trapped in curiosity.
That’s obsession — and it burns longer than motivation ever could.
