Self Discipline Is It!
How many times have you
attended a Church service or Friday Jumat and came out with the impression that
the Preacher of the day killed the sermon? - that is he spoke truth to the
Words of God!
How many times have you allowed yourself to be reminded of the things you actually know but fail to do?
How often do you leak away the motivation that is in you already?
Our inability to do things we ought to be doing is the undoing of many a man and this is simply because we allow our brain to control us in such as a way as to keep us lazy
Listen, your brain was designed to keep you lazy, it was not meant to help you succeed, if you want success, then you must re-wire your brain.
You must wear the garment of self discipline because that is what it will take to make you productive.
Depending on your brain to help you succeed is like depending on facebook to make you socially valuable and relevant because it is a social media site.
So when we start to question whether we are really going to get down to some work, whether it's too late to make a start, whether we should watch the James Bond movie on TV instead, we start to 'leak' motivation.
Any time you leave what you ought to be doing to do what you ought not to be doing, you are leaking motivation and self discipline is not in you.
Make self-discipline 'non-negotiable'.
I'm guessing you don't um and ah about whether to clean your teeth or flush when you've visited the bathroom (I'm hoping) - these things are unquestioned by you.
Likewise, tell yourself: "I'm not going to listen to excuses or wimp-outs - this is non-negotiable!"
Remember the words of Abraham J. Heschel: "Self respect is the fruit of self discipline, the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say NO to oneself"
If you must create wealth and I mean generational wealth, then you must learn what it means to practice fiscal discipline - you must discipline yourself to the point of being an automatic implementer. When you automate things, you don't think about them again, you just do them.
Every day and every time some shiny object comes into your view to distract you from your chosen route, remind yourself that Sorry, it's non-negotiable
That way, you would become
a made person sooner than you realize it.
Go do it
Cheers
