In my years of personal development, I've come to realize that the bridge that connects the land of potential with the land of opportunity is self-discipline.
.
Discipline is the tool that enables you to start and culminate the process.
.
If you were building a wooden deck wouldn't you need a hammer๐จ?
.
Discipline helps the seed that has been planted grow confidently.
.
Discipline starts with a decision.
The decision to "๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฑ."
Which means, keeping your promises.
.
The problem is becoming disciplined is not easy.
.
One specific issue that makes it challenging for most people is: deciding to spend more time on trying to figure out why we' don't follow through on our promises, instead of investing more energy on just doing it.
.
And the reason we tend to do more analyzing of ourselves instead of just taking the necessary action is because:
๐ถ๐'๐ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป. Period.
.
Think about it! ๐ค
.
How many times have you found yourself trying to come up with the reason(s) as to why you didn't keep your promises or follow through.
.
And then, to make it even more entertaining you come up with the evaluation: "What's wrong with me?"
.
Piece of advise.
There's nothing wrong with you! You are a capable human being with tremendous power to build the bridge and connect you with the paradise of opportunity.
.
So stop avoiding this fact by trying to find "reasons" that you think you need to let you off the hook.
.
The good news is, discipline is merely a constant awareness of the need for action jointed with a conscious act to implement that action.
.
And, when our awareness and our implementations occur at the same, we begin a valued sequence of disciplined activity.
.
It has taken me a long time to build my own discipline. Many days, it's still a challenge.
.
But what I've found is that, investing my time into building the discipline has now made it simpler to be disciplined. It's actually harder to go back to being undisciplined. Which means that time spent on creating a discipline pays off generously.
.
So.. where does one start?
.
Well as the great saying goes: "it all starts and ends in the mind."
.
Consequently, if you want to develop discipline, you must learn to discipline your mind.
.
For as Seneca states: "Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power."
.
This I find, is what provides true freedom and brings with it tremendous peace of mind.
