“Discipline – orderly or prescribed conduct or pattern of behavior”
In the past two days, I have seen people I admire talking about the value and need for discipline if one wants to succeed. I have always, to some degree, understood this, but hearing these two consecutive people talking about it has my wheels turning.
So what does this all mean?
Well for me, when I think about achieving something I first think about establishing the goal. From here one must figure out the daily targets needed to achieve that goal and once this is established action can be made.
One may say that all seems simple and easy to do but the trick or shall I say downfall that comes in is when the noise starts to kick in or life starts to want to pull us off the tracks.
This is where discipline comes in and is crucial if we ever desire to see or taste success.
Without discipline, the goal will fall to the wayside and the targets will not be achieved. With so much to distract us and an over-stimulated world, it makes sense that the key ingredient and main thing needed to REALLY achieve success is discipline. This unwillingness to cave on established pattern behavior leads to habits and if kept on course will lead to results and success in reaching our goals. Â
So stop making the excuse that there is so much talent out there that you will never make it and start getting disciplined at taking actionable steps towards your goals.
