Do You Even Want It? The Real Reason Discipline Feels Hard
• 16 minMost people think they have a discipline problem, while Amber Cabral thinks they have a clarity problem. In Part 2 of her 3-part series on discipline, Amber challenges one of the biggest assumptions in personal growth: that the reason you can't stay consistent is that you're lazy, unmotivated, or lacking discipline. What if the real issue is that you're trying to commit to a goal that was never truly yours to begin with? In this episode of Human(ing) Well, Amber explores the difference between real wants and borrowed wants. From career paths and relationship goals to health, creativity, and personal growth, she unpacks how many of us spend years chasing goals that were assigned by parents, partners, society, or expectations we never consciously chose. Drawing from her own journey of entrepreneurship, authenticity, and reinvention, Amber shares why discipline becomes easier when it's connected to something that truly matters to you. She explains how devotion fuels consistency, why authenticity requires flexibility, and how to identify whether your goals are coming from genuine desire or external pressure. Amber also shares research showing that people pursuing goals aligned with their own values are more likely to sustain effort and achieve long-term success than those pursuing goals based on obligation or outside pressure. Tune in and discover why walking away from a goal that was never yours may be one of the most disciplined things you can do. 📢 EP 24: Get Grounded: How “You Can Have Whatever You Want” https://humaningwell.substack.com/p/ep-24-get-grounded-how-you-can-have 🛍️ Shop Amber’s Be A Good Human merch:https://www.ambercabral.com/merch đź’› Pour In Birthday Submissions:https://form.typeform.com/to/DhI5dOLx Amber’s substack | https://humaningwell.substack.com/ www.humaningwellpodcast.com/ Amber Cabral IG | @bamcabral LinkedIn | @ambercabral Facebook | @amber.cabral X | @BamCabral Bluesky | @bamcabral.bsky.social Watch Amber’s TED TALK here.
