In this episode, I unpack the hard truth: being happy is fleeting, but choosing happiness is forever.
Happiness isn’t a mood. It’s a direction. And the path to it? That takes discipline—a personal code of behavior that keeps you moving, especially when your emotions don’t.
We’ll explore:
- Why chasing happiness keeps you stuck
- How to define happiness using the Five F’s
- The difference between emotional highs and directional fulfillment
- Why discipline isn’t about punishment—it’s about alignment

Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.

00:00:00.298 --> 00:00:00.568
All right.
00:00:00.568 --> 00:00:01.649
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.278 --> 00:00:05.219
You know, everyone says that they just wanna be happy.
00:00:05.969 --> 00:00:11.819
Like being happy is some final destination that you're gonna reach.
00:00:12.298 --> 00:00:19.260
Once the stars line up, the bills are paid, the stress is gone, and the mood is right.
00:00:20.594 --> 00:00:22.903
But bro, that's the biggest head fake of 'em all.
00:00:23.565 --> 00:00:31.905
Being happy is an emotion, and because it's an emotion, like all emotions, it comes and goes.
00:00:32.625 --> 00:00:38.234
One moment you feel great, and two minutes later, dude, you feel completely empty.
00:00:38.863 --> 00:00:40.124
That's how emotions work.
00:00:40.694 --> 00:00:41.473
They're fleeting.
00:00:42.223 --> 00:00:47.149
They're unreliable, they're reactionary, but happiness.
00:00:48.058 --> 00:00:57.929
That's different because happiness isn't a feeling, it's a direction, and that direction takes discipline.
00:00:58.618 --> 00:01:08.789
This morning I was reading Stickability, the Power of Perseverance by Greg Reed, and this is published through the Napoleon Hill Foundation, and he dropped a line.
00:01:08.939 --> 00:01:16.799
I'd read this book years ago, and when you go back and you listen to stuff again or read stuff again, you're in a different season.
00:01:17.638 --> 00:01:21.149
And I know I'd heard this before, but it just didn't resonate with me.
00:01:21.778 --> 00:01:28.409
And today I read this, happiness Takes direction and bro, that stopped me.
00:01:29.218 --> 00:01:31.078
I never put those two words together.
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.078
Happiness and discipline.
00:01:34.983 --> 00:01:36.302
But when I did.
00:01:37.427 --> 00:01:43.908
And really thought about this and started wrestling with that passage right there.
00:01:44.408 --> 00:01:45.548
Everything changed.
00:01:46.171 --> 00:01:58.441
See, we've been sold this lie that if we just work hard enough, we rest long enough, we hustle smarter, we meditate more, we journal better, then we're gonna feel happy.
00:01:59.415 --> 00:02:05.956
But it just doesn't work that way because again, happy is an emotion.
00:02:06.465 --> 00:02:14.225
It's based on external conditions and when life takes a shift on you, and those conditions shift, and they always will.
00:02:15.075 --> 00:02:16.876
So too does your emotional state.
00:02:17.985 --> 00:02:22.036
So if your happiness is only based on how you feel.
00:02:23.001 --> 00:02:24.651
Then it's forever gonna be fragile.
00:02:25.131 --> 00:02:30.561
It's circumstantial, and because it's circumstantial, it's gonna be inconsistent.
00:02:31.395 --> 00:02:35.805
But when happiness is a direction, everything's gonna change for you.
00:02:36.794 --> 00:02:44.055
Discipline is how you stay aligned with that direction, especially when your emotions try to pull you off track.
00:02:44.564 --> 00:02:45.405
Discipline.
00:02:45.465 --> 00:02:47.175
It is not a punishment.
00:02:47.564 --> 00:02:55.215
There are consequences to getting outside of discipline, but discipline is nothing more than a code of behavior.
00:02:55.574 --> 00:03:00.824
It's how you carry yourself when things are going your way and when they're not going your way.
00:03:01.724 --> 00:03:07.965
See, you don't get head faked on the emotion of it going your way, , and you don't get in the gutter when it's not going your way.
00:03:08.677 --> 00:03:09.877
It's a code of behavior.
00:03:10.027 --> 00:03:11.918
So when things are going well for you.
00:03:13.328 --> 00:03:18.728
You're still trying to ex extract opportunities when it's going poorly for you.
00:03:19.388 --> 00:03:32.967
You're still trying to extract lessons and opportunities because I don't know what it is about us that we say, oh, I just wanna be happy and we choose to get our lives right.
00:03:33.694 --> 00:03:39.230
And we're under this illusion that things are just supposed to be peachy cream.
00:03:39.531 --> 00:03:40.221
It's not.
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:43.320
Things are not gonna go your way a lot of the time.
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:45.091
Let me ask you this.
00:03:45.871 --> 00:03:48.691
What does happiness look like for you?
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:50.431
Just pause right there.
00:03:51.256 --> 00:04:00.015
And I'm not saying happiness in some vague feel-good kind of way, but happiness as in directional terms.
00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:08.789
So what does happiness look like for you in your faith, in your family, which is also relationships and your fitness.
00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:13.319
And your finances and your fulfillment, both professionally and creatively.
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.519
These are the five Fs that I use every single day to check my alignment.
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:26.100
Because if I'm not paying attention and being intentional in those areas, I'm just gonna drift off.
00:04:26.786 --> 00:04:27.716
Bro, is it just me?
00:04:27.716 --> 00:04:30.196
Or have you ever felt like that you're just drifting through life?
00:04:31.245 --> 00:04:34.786
Not really miserable, but not really joyful either?
00:04:35.281 --> 00:04:37.081
Kind of like empty inside.
00:04:37.985 --> 00:04:42.185
That's usually a sign that you stop choosing.
00:04:42.365 --> 00:04:46.384
That is a operative word, choosing the direction of happiness.
00:04:46.925 --> 00:04:53.194
You're waiting to feel good before you bust a move, but it works the other way around.
00:04:53.694 --> 00:04:54.805
You gotta move first.
00:04:55.345 --> 00:04:56.574
You gotta make the first move.
00:04:57.185 --> 00:05:04.615
Lemme put it, in my world, I don't always feel like writing or reading every day or recording a podcast.
00:05:05.175 --> 00:05:09.646
But I do it anyway because that's just part of my code.
00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:13.329
It primes my mind, it aligns my behavior.
00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:17.560
It reminds me of the direction that I'm headed.
00:05:18.069 --> 00:05:21.939
I don't always feel like working out, but I'm not showing up for a feeling.
00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:29.343
I'm showing up for a result for a way of life, for a direction that I've chosen.
00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:33.050
Because if I don't choose it, life's gonna choose it for me.
00:05:34.069 --> 00:05:37.608
And I'm not gonna like the scraps that life hands me.
00:05:37.999 --> 00:05:39.259
I get to choose that.
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:40.848
You get to choose that.
00:05:41.403 --> 00:05:42.423
That's a discipline.
00:05:42.999 --> 00:05:50.678
That's where happiness lives in the deliberate act of showing up with alignment and purpose.
00:05:51.129 --> 00:05:52.899
Even when your emotions don't support it.
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.478
Now, let me tell you this.
00:05:55.461 --> 00:05:57.081
You're not gonna get it right every single day.
00:05:57.531 --> 00:05:58.610
You're gonna fall short.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.961
You're gonna blow it.
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:01.341
You're gonna wanna quit.
00:06:01.761 --> 00:06:03.230
Some days you're gonna crush it.
00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:05.930
Other days, bro, it's like you're just dialing it in.
00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:08.810
I mean, you just have the don't wants.
00:06:08.841 --> 00:06:16.790
You're just like kicking and screaming and big lip all the way, and some days you're just gonna completely fall apart.
00:06:17.511 --> 00:06:18.170
That's normal.
00:06:18.951 --> 00:06:19.971
That's what it's all about.
00:06:20.735 --> 00:06:23.016
You have to, if you won every single time, you'd be bored.
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:24.005
You'd never grow.
00:06:25.036 --> 00:06:26.055
It's the losses.
00:06:26.115 --> 00:06:30.826
It's the times you don't feel like doing it, or more important than the days you do feel like doing hell.
00:06:31.096 --> 00:06:36.795
Everybody can do something when they're happy, but it's when the emotions leave you happy, will leave you.
00:06:36.795 --> 00:06:41.596
Happiness will never leave you because you choose it every single day.
00:06:42.096 --> 00:06:43.295
You choose a direction.
00:06:43.596 --> 00:06:46.175
You choose the course, and you recalibrate.
00:06:46.790 --> 00:06:50.151
You just analyze, you adjust, and you keep rocking.
00:06:50.651 --> 00:06:52.000
This is what discipline is.
00:06:52.031 --> 00:06:53.350
It's a code of behavior.
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.300
Regardless of what it looks like out there, the code, you gotta determine that.
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:00.341
What's a code for me is not a code for you.
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:02.440
It's a sequence of events.
00:07:03.055 --> 00:07:12.386
It's the numbers on the dial, but you have to put in the reps. You have to come back at it at time and time again when you feel like it, when you don't feel like it.
00:07:12.935 --> 00:07:17.795
But I do it because I'm choosing the direction of happiness.
00:07:18.096 --> 00:07:23.766
And when you build a life on those things, you don't have to feel happy to be happy.
00:07:24.528 --> 00:07:29.959
. So just stop chasing the temporary emotional high of being happy.
00:07:30.288 --> 00:07:32.149
Stop saying, I just want to be happy.
00:07:32.418 --> 00:07:34.788
Instead say, I choose happiness every day.
00:07:35.201 --> 00:07:47.557
As a direction, and I'm willing to develop the discipline, the code of behavior that it takes to keep walking this path, because that's how you build a life that actually matters.
00:07:47.827 --> 00:07:52.028
That's how you live a life of purpose, of intention.
00:07:52.613 --> 00:07:59.264
No matter what the day throws at you, it's going to, it's not if things go wrong, it's when things go wrong.
00:07:59.983 --> 00:08:01.184
It's part of it, man.
00:08:01.684 --> 00:08:02.694
That's how you succeed.
00:08:02.694 --> 00:08:10.608
It's the mixture of the wins and the losses, but anything worth doing is going to be hard.
00:08:11.057 --> 00:08:15.648
It's gonna be some challenges, it's gonna be some adversity, it's gonna be some uncertainty.
00:08:15.767 --> 00:08:17.567
There's always gonna be complacency.
00:08:17.567 --> 00:08:19.307
It is all of those things.
00:08:19.807 --> 00:08:21.908
So in what ways will you choose happiness today?
00:08:22.117 --> 00:08:24.997
Not as a feeling, but as a direction.
00:08:25.898 --> 00:08:37.173
and how will your discipline, which is nothing more than a code of behavior, your code, the things that work for you, a behavior, the way that you conduct yourself at all times.
00:08:37.673 --> 00:08:42.624
What ways will keep you on the path, will keep you aligned with happiness.
00:08:43.058 --> 00:08:43.479
Do not.
00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:47.139
Get head faked on the fleeting bullshit.
00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:49.479
Emotions of being happy.
00:08:50.143 --> 00:08:51.582
Choose happiness.
00:08:52.222 --> 00:08:53.452
And choose the direction.
00:08:53.993 --> 00:08:54.982
It's your choice.
00:08:55.533 --> 00:08:56.793

00:09:19.773 --> 00:09:20.222
Peace.
00:00:00.298 --> 00:00:00.568
All right.
00:00:00.568 --> 00:00:01.649
3, 2, 1. Let's get it.
00:00:02.278 --> 00:00:05.219

They're fleeting.
00:00:42.223 --> 00:00:47.149
They're unreliable, they're reactionary, but happiness.
00:00:48.058 --> 00:00:57.929
That's different because happiness isn't a feeling, it's a direction, and that direction takes discipline.

It's how you carry yourself when things are going your way and when they're not going your way.
00:03:01.724 --> 00:03:07.965
See, you don't get head faked on the emotion of it going your way, , and you don't get in the gutter when it's not going your way.
00:03:08.677 --> 00:03:09.877
It's a code of behavior.
00:03:10.027 --> 00:03:11.918
So when things are going well for you.
00:03:13.328 --> 00:03:18.728
You're still trying to ex extract opportunities when it's going poorly for you.
00:03:19.388 --> 00:03:32.967
You're still trying to extract lessons and opportunities because I don't know what it is about us that we say, oh, I just wanna be happy and we choose to get our lives right.
00:03:33.694 --> 00:03:39.230
And we're under this illusion that things are just supposed to be peachy cream.
00:03:39.531 --> 00:03:40.221
It's not.
00:03:40.980 --> 00:03:43.320
Things are not gonna go your way a lot of the time.
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:45.091
Let me ask you this.
00:03:45.871 --> 00:03:48.691
What does happiness look like for you?
00:03:49.050 --> 00:03:50.431
Just pause right there.
00:03:51.256 --> 00:04:00.015
And I'm not saying happiness in some vague feel-good kind of way, but happiness as in directional terms.
00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:08.789
So what does happiness look like for you in your faith, in your family, which is also relationships and your fitness.
00:04:09.090 --> 00:04:13.319
And your finances and your fulfillment, both professionally and creatively.
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:17.519
These are the five Fs that I use every single day to check my alignment.
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:26.100
Because if I'm not paying attention and being intentional in those areas, I'm just gonna drift off.
00:04:26.786 --> 00:04:27.716
Bro, is it just me?
00:04:27.716 --> 00:04:30.196
Or have you ever felt like that you're just drifting through life?
00:04:31.245 --> 00:04:34.786
Not really miserable, but not really joyful either?
00:04:35.281 --> 00:04:37.081
Kind of like empty inside.
00:04:37.985 --> 00:04:42.185
That's usually a sign that you stop choosing.
00:04:42.365 --> 00:04:46.384
That is a operative word, choosing the direction of happiness.
00:04:46.925 --> 00:04:53.194
You're waiting to feel good before you bust a move, but it works the other way around.
00:04:53.694 --> 00:04:54.805
You gotta move first.
00:04:55.345 --> 00:04:56.574
You gotta make the first move.
00:04:57.185 --> 00:05:04.615
Lemme put it, in my world, I don't always feel like writing or reading every day or recording a podcast.
00:05:05.175 --> 00:05:09.646
But I do it anyway because that's just part of my code.
00:05:10.329 --> 00:05:13.329
It primes my mind, it aligns my behavior.
00:05:13.810 --> 00:05:17.560
It reminds me of the direction that I'm headed.
00:05:18.069 --> 00:05:21.939
I don't always feel like working out, but I'm not showing up for a feeling.
00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:29.343
I'm showing up for a result for a way of life, for a direction that I've chosen.
00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:33.050
Because if I don't choose it, life's gonna choose it for me.
00:05:34.069 --> 00:05:37.608
And I'm not gonna like the scraps that life hands me.
00:05:37.999 --> 00:05:39.259
I get to choose that.
00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:40.848
You get to choose that.
00:05:41.403 --> 00:05:42.423
That's a discipline.
00:05:42.999 --> 00:05:50.678
That's where happiness lives in the deliberate act of showing up with alignment and purpose.
00:05:51.129 --> 00:05:52.899
Even when your emotions don't support it.
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.478
Now, let me tell you this.
00:05:55.461 --> 00:05:57.081
You're not gonna get it right every single day.
00:05:57.531 --> 00:05:58.610
You're gonna fall short.
00:05:59.120 --> 00:05:59.961
You're gonna blow it.
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:01.341
You're gonna wanna quit.
00:06:01.761 --> 00:06:03.230
Some days you're gonna crush it.
00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:05.930
Other days, bro, it's like you're just dialing it in.
00:06:06.500 --> 00:06:08.810
I mean, you just have the don't wants.
00:06:08.841 --> 00:06:16.790
You're just like kicking and screaming and big lip all the way, and some days you're just gonna completely fall apart.
00:06:17.511 --> 00:06:18.170
That's normal.
00:06:18.951 --> 00:06:19.971
That's what it's all about.
00:06:20.735 --> 00:06:23.016
You have to, if you won every single time, you'd be bored.
00:06:23.105 --> 00:06:24.005
You'd never grow.
00:06:25.036 --> 00:06:26.055
It's the losses.
00:06:26.115 --> 00:06:30.826
It's the times you don't feel like doing it, or more important than the days you do feel like doing hell.
00:06:31.096 --> 00:06:36.795
Everybody can do something when they're happy, but it's when the emotions leave you happy, will leave you.
00:06:36.795 --> 00:06:41.596
Happiness will never leave you because you choose it every single day.
00:06:42.096 --> 00:06:43.295
You choose a direction.
00:06:43.596 --> 00:06:46.175
You choose the course, and you recalibrate.
00:06:46.790 --> 00:06:50.151
You just analyze, you adjust, and you keep rocking.
00:06:50.651 --> 00:06:52.000
This is what discipline is.
00:06:52.031 --> 00:06:53.350
It's a code of behavior.
00:06:53.440 --> 00:06:58.300
Regardless of what it looks like out there, the code, you gotta determine that.
00:06:58.300 --> 00:07:00.341
What's a code for me is not a code for you.
00:07:00.940 --> 00:07:02.440
It's a sequence of events.
00:07:03.055 --> 00:07:12.386
It's the numbers on the dial, but you have to put in the reps. You have to come back at it at time and time again when you feel like it, when you don't feel like it.
00:07:12.935 --> 00:07:17.795
But I do it because I'm choosing the direction of happiness.
00:07:18.096 --> 00:07:23.766
And when you build a life on those things, you don't have to feel happy to be happy.
00:07:24.528 --> 00:07:29.959
. So just stop chasing the temporary emotional high of being happy.
00:07:30.288 --> 00:07:32.149
Stop saying, I just want to be happy.
00:07:32.418 --> 00:07:34.788
Instead say, I choose happiness every day.
00:07:35.201 --> 00:07:47.557
As a direction, and I'm willing to develop the discipline, the code of behavior that it takes to keep walking this path, because that's how you build a life that actually matters.
00:07:47.827 --> 00:07:52.028
That's how you live a life of purpose, of intention.
00:07:52.613 --> 00:07:59.264
No matter what the day throws at you, it's going to, it's not if things go wrong, it's when things go wrong.
00:07:59.983 --> 00:08:01.184
It's part of it, man.
00:08:01.684 --> 00:08:02.694
That's how you succeed.
00:08:02.694 --> 00:08:10.608
It's the mixture of the wins and the losses, but anything worth doing is going to be hard.
00:08:11.057 --> 00:08:15.648
It's gonna be some challenges, it's gonna be some adversity, it's gonna be some uncertainty.
00:08:15.767 --> 00:08:17.567
There's always gonna be complacency.
00:08:17.567 --> 00:08:19.307
It is all of those things.
00:08:19.807 --> 00:08:21.908
So in what ways will you choose happiness today?
00:08:22.117 --> 00:08:24.997
Not as a feeling, but as a direction.
00:08:25.898 --> 00:08:37.173
and how will your discipline, which is nothing more than a code of behavior, your code, the things that work for you, a behavior, the way that you conduct yourself at all times.
00:08:37.673 --> 00:08:42.624
What ways will keep you on the path, will keep you aligned with happiness.
00:08:43.058 --> 00:08:43.479
Do not.
00:08:44.259 --> 00:08:47.139
Get head faked on the fleeting bullshit.
00:08:47.139 --> 00:08:49.479
Emotions of being happy.
00:08:50.143 --> 00:08:51.582
Choose happiness.
00:08:52.222 --> 00:08:53.452
And choose the direction.
00:08:53.993 --> 00:08:54.982
It's your choice.
00:08:55.533 --> 00:08:56.793
