Self-Discipline

To really be able to focusdemandsa lot of self-discipline. Remember that your outcome depends on YOU, not on the world around you. If you want something badly enough you WILL do everything in your power to get it.

Self-discipline in thiscontext isbasically only letting yourself do what you WANT to do at that precise moment in time to be able to reach your goals more quickly.

Remember that YOU are the bossof your actions. YOU are the one who isin control. So ultimately YOU decide what and when to do thingsyou need to do to achieve your ultimate success.
Your ability to manage your actionsisdirectly related to the level of success and happiness you will experience throughout your life. Managing your actionsiscommonly known asexercising self-discipline.

It'sabsolutely not about restricting your lifestyle, or punishing yourself. It's about being able to workwith your thoughts, behaviour and actions in order to reach the goals that you wish to reach.

Not having self-discipline isone of the main reasonswhy we fail at what we want to do, both professionally and personally. Excuse-making often creates lackof self-discipline, so drop all your excusesand start keeping habitsthat in themselveswill create the self-discipline you need. Make routinesthat you know you are capable of sticking to, and keep them.

How do you attain self-discipline? A few optionscould be regular exercise, better, healthier eating, even learning to spend lessmoney. It could be something like deciding to learn something new every single day or just getting up an hour earlier than you normally would.

Having self-discipline will help you to complete the most boring and mundane of the tasksyou are focusing on. Should you find yourself sitting and thinking thoughts like “Oh, I’ll just do thisinstead” or “I can do that some other time” when you are working on your goalsthen STOP, take a deep breath and remember your self-discipline.
