Discipline...oh discipline....

December 09, 20233 min read

“Painting is self-discovery. Every good artist paints what he is.” – Jackson Pollock


Discipline…oh Discipline…


Introduction

Hey there, fellow seeker of wisdom and mastery! Let’s embark on a journey into the heart of Discipline—a force that shapes our destinies, molds our character, and whispers secrets of greatness. In this cozy corner of the internet, we’ll explore how neuroscience, psychology, and the art of painting converge to weave the fabric of Discipline. So grab your favorite mug of inspiration (mine’s filled with chamomile tea), and let’s dive in.


1. The Silent Architect: Neuroscience

a. Rewiring Our Brain

Picture your brain as a bustling city of neurons, each firing messages like tiny couriers. Discipline is the urban planner, laying down neural highways. How? Through repetition. Whether you’re practicing scales on a piano or perfecting your brushstrokes, each deliberate act carves pathways toward mastery. Neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to adapt—fuels this transformation.

b. The Prefrontal Cortex: Your Mental Gym

Meet the prefrontal cortex—the decision-making maestro. It’s the part of your brain that says, “Hey, skip that Netflix binge; finish that canvas!” When you override instant gratification with long-term goals, you’re flexing your prefrontal muscles. It’s like a mental gym where Discipline lifts weights.


2. The Psychology of Persistence

a. The Marshmallow Test

Remember those adorable kids resisting marshmallows? They knew the magic of delayed gratification. Discipline isn’t about suppressing desires; it’s about saying, “Hold up, marshmallow—I’ve got a masterpiece to create!” Those who wait for the double marshmallow? They’re the ones who build empires.

b. Emotions: The Rogue Waves

Our emotions—like rogue waves—threaten to capsize our ship of Discipline. But disciplined sailors recognize these emotional storms. They adjust their sails, navigate through doubt, and keep their eyes on the distant horizon.


3. Painting Practices: Strokes of Discipline

a. The Daily Brushstroke Ritual

Imagine a painter’s studio bathed in morning light. The artist picks up the brush—a ritual as sacred as morning coffee. Each stroke isn’t just pigment on canvas; it’s a neural imprint. Consistency breeds mastery. So, my friend, commit to your daily brushstroke. Let it be your mantra.

b. The Blank Canvas: Fear and Freedom

A blank canvas stares back, both terrifying and liberating. Disciplined artists don’t flinch. They embrace the void, knowing that Discipline will fill it with colors, shapes, and stories. The first stroke—the bravest one—breaks the silence.


4. Quotes from Robert Greene’s Mastery

Let’s sip from the cup of wisdom poured by Robert Greene:

  • “Fear not the blank canvas; it’s your playground.”

  • “The future belongs to those who blend skills like a master chef.”

  • “No one hands out treasure maps. You forge your own path.”

  • “Intensity fuels mastery. Focus like a laser.”


Conclusion: Stroke by Stroke

Discipline isn’t a stern headmaster; it’s a gentle guide. As you dip your brush into vibrant hues or face that empty page, remember: every stroke, every decision, shapes your neural landscape. Neuroscience whispers, psychology nods, and the canvas awaits. So go ahead, my fellow creator—paint your masterpiece.
