Do The Hard Thing Now
Feeling ready is overrated; acting ready changes everything. Today we take on the gap between what we say we want and what we actually do, and we get honest about why comfort keeps winning. With Pastor Daniel Cisneros, we unpack how youth and adults alike drift toward shortcuts, then wonder why consistency collapses when life gets hard. We trade the myth of motivation for a durable plan built on faith, structure, and high-quality reps—on the mat and in daily life. We walk through a practical set of principles you can use immediately. First, honor the gifts and opportunities already in your hands and remember the people who invested in you. Gratitude fuels follow-through. Then, protect your priorities with a schedule that leaves less room for drift. When resistance hits, use the three-second rule—count three, two, one, move—to beat hesitation before your brain negotiates you out of action. Over time, results teach your feelings to follow obedience. You don’t fall in love with discipline; you fall in love with the peace, confidence, and freedom that come after it. We also connect these ideas to real-world training at DefendFit, where functional fitness meets practical self-defense. You’ll hear how we use clear systems—before, during, and after an encounter—to build competence without ego or avoidable injury. Training as both “good guy” and “good bad guy” teaches control, trust, and stress management that transfer to work, family, and faith. Finally, we revisit the Seven M’s—ministry, marriage, mentoring, media, martial arts, muscle, and money—as a lifelong curriculum for living from conviction, not convenience. The goal isn’t burnout; it’s ownership and joy. Ready to act before you feel like it?
