Om's core philosophy is that nothing he's ever excelled at required willpower to sustain—obsession did the work. The implication is that 'discipline' is often a lagging indicator that you've misidentified your actual domain. If you have to force yourself to grind every day, you're probably in the wrong game, and you'll never reach the top percentile of people who are genuinely obsessed. This reframes discipline from virtue to signal.
