We already know that self-discipline is important, but do we really need it?
We know about the elements of success, and we become familiar with many useful resources and tools that lead us to success, so why do we need self-discipline?
We all have goals in different areas of our lives. Some of us want more successful relationships, others like to get more money, some more, just want happiness in their lives, and some want better health with less weight. These are common goals, and they sometimes fail or succeed in achieving them. The million dollar question is: Why don't we reach those goals?
The answer is: Lack of self-discipline.
Success takes time. It does not happen instantaneously. What we do today will determine the results in the future. If you change your present, your future will change. For example, if you eat a lot of junk food today, you will gain weight, and this will be reflected in your future weight. If you are going to spend more money than you earn today, you will have less money in the future and more debts.
Current actions define future results.
Self-discipline is done in your present to achieve good results in the future.
You can learn lots of tips and tools for your goals, but if you don't take action for those goals, they will never become successful. Most goals need effort and consistency. Self-discipline will allow you to obtain the necessary efforts and perseverance. If you need to lose weight, you need the help of self-discipline - among other Skills like eating healthy. If you want to get more money, you have to discipline yourself either to save or to invest. Self-discipline takes time to succeed.
It is required to make one or another sacrifice. Yes, sometimes it is about making some tough sacrifices. Why do we need to sacrifice ourselves for nothing? Why not enjoy the moment and do what makes us happy?
Sure, no one will force you to do something you really don't want to do. However, sacrifice is necessary to achieve goals in the future.
Our lives are full of temptations: we have televisions, good food, sweets, technology… etc. These temptations make it more difficult for us to resist fun and thus forget the most important goals in our lives. Almost all of us want to have a magazine model figure, but with these temptations that invade us all the time, we lose that goal of a slim figure. We all want to earn more money, but it is difficult to resist, for example, they offer us discount travel packages for a splendid vacation. In these situations, what we really need is self-discipline. This will allow us to focus on our goals and pursue them until we reach success. With self-discipline, we can have better control over our instant desires.
Focus on the difference between what you feel and what you think.
Identify that thin line between your heart and your mind.
Suddenly a commercial may appear announcing an exquisite hamburger and you want to eat it, but your self-discipline will tell you No, don't even think about it !, and it will prevent you because you have the goal of losing weight.
It is a great resource for success. In fact, many experts think that it is almost impossible to achieve success without self-discipline. Research shows that entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs must have it to be successful in their business.
It is a habit of successful people.
And it is a mental habit.
Successful people programmed their minds for self-discipline. They use it naturally and automatically. Thus, it is not an effort or something difficult for them to use the power of self-discipline.
We know that success has a common predisposition and laws. Likewise, we know that successful people followed these laws. Many experts studied successful people for a long time and wrote countless wonderful and useful books about them. An expert in this area, Brian Tracy, states that a main skill that you need to achieve success is the resource of self-discipline. You can know many laws of success, and you can have a plan of your goals, but this plan will not work if self-control of your goals is not applied. It is a reality that 97% of people do not write down their goals, and that to begin with is already a major obstacle to success, however, simply writing down goals is not enough unless combined with self-discipline.It is your practical blueprint for success.
Successful people have high self-discipline, and use it without perceiving difficulties. They see it, not as a rigorous sacrifice or boring tasks that they perform, but rather as a type of freedom. Freedom from dependence on others, and freedom from self-limitations.
We need it for all fields of our lives. With it, you can better organize your time. You can improve your self esteem, self confidence and self satisfaction. You will also need it to develop spiritual growth, personal growth, and meditation.
It is one of the main tools to get to what you are capable of doing and being.
Some people are born with high self-discipline. However, most people don't have it, and they may develop it over time. This learning can be in two ways: through conscious tools, that is, through daily exercises for some time (for a month or so). Or by unconscious tools like hypnosis, which is more effective and more durable. In either method, the person can acquire self-discipline and will be able to complete their required tasks as needed.
