Chapter 4037: Discipline! III

“Oh?” Noah’s interest was immediate, his attention splitting between the ongoing transformation of his people and Yoshinami’s words.

Yoshinami blinked slowly, her crimson eyes unfocusing as she reached back through memory to times that most had forgotten existed.

“Back then, in the Early Veiled Shore of the Architect of Sanctuaries, she had been tending to Herbs, Plots, and observing Marine and Land Lifeforms. One day, I asked her why she was doing all of this every day…the same tasks, the same routines, with such dedication that it seemed almost obsessive.”

The spider-form being shifted slightly, her mandibles clicking in a pattern that suggested deep thought.

“The Architect of Sanctuaries had smiled and said that for a whole year, she had actually been allowed to follow and learn from THE Living Quantum inside an Early Veiled Shore.”

Noah’s eyebrows rose. THE Living Quantum…one of the original Living Existences, a being whose very nature challenged the concept of fixed position or state.

Yoshinami continued, her voice taking on the cadence of one reciting sacred text.

“THE Living Quantum had posed a question to the Architect: ‘What is the most successful tool or weapon in existence? What is the biggest predictor of success?'”

“The Architect, eager to impress, had guessed many things. ‘One’s purpose?’ she suggested. THE Living Quantum shook what served as its head. ‘One’s origin?’ Another denial. ‘Power? Intelligence? Connections? The quality of one’s Shore?'”

Yoshinami’s eyes gleamed with the memory of her former master’s recounting.

“All wrong, THE Living Quantum had said. Then it revealed the truth: The biggest predictor of complexity and power is actually…discipline.”

HUUM!

The word hung in the air with weight that transcended its simplicity.

“THE Living Quantum explained it thus: ‘Discipline is the ability to get up every day and do something one may not necessarily want to do, but does regardless because they see the future results. It is not motivation, which comes and goes like weather. It is not inspiration, which strikes randomly if at all. Discipline is simply doing something regardless of whether one wants to do it or not.'”

Yoshinami’s voice grew more animated as she continued the tale:

“‘Consider,’ THE Living Quantum had said, ‘how many Early Creatures have Early Veiled Shores but don’t utilize them to their full extent? They don’t tend to their plants and lifeforms every day. They don’t perform the daily tasks that would continue to elevate them. They plant a seed and expect it to grow without water. They capture a Marine Lifeform and expect it to thrive without care.'”

“‘Some have no discipline. They have power but no routine. They have potential but no practice. They have tools but no consistency in using them. And because they lack discipline, they have no future…only an eternal present where they remain exactly as they are.'”

…!

The weight of the lesson pressed against consciousness itself as Yoshinami continued.

“‘Why? Because discipline compounds. Each day’s small effort adds to the previous day’s. Each routine completed makes the next easier. Each task finished builds the foundation for greater tasks. The disciplined being doesn’t need to feel like practicing…they practice. They don’t need to want to grow…they grow. They don’t need motivation to continue, they continue.'” 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
