For years, I measured discipline by miles run, work finished, and how hard I could push.

Then life got heavier.

Seventy-four hours of work in seven days forced me to reconsider what discipline actually means.

The standard did not disappear because I ran less.

The work changed.

Maybe discipline is not doing the same thing forever.

Maybe it is knowing what the moment requires.
