Part 13/17:
The Role of Discipline and Consistency
Throughout our conversation, Jay emphasizes that success, whether in military, mountaineering, or personal growth, depends on consistent work performed "when no one's watching." He advocates for the virtue of discipline—doing the hard work in solitude, pushing oneself daily, and embracing the discomfort of growth.
He believes that the journey and the struggles along the way build resilience, confidence, and character. This includes everyday habits like training, proper preparation, and even simple acts like picking up litter and maintaining discipline within the community.
