The Single Most Important Prerequisite for Success is Self-Discipline
Discipline? – it doesn't sound like fun – it is such a pain and suffering.
Hearing the word discipline almost makes you want to rebel, as though you were a school kid who knows that it must mean trouble.
Friends - Recognize that self-discipline can be your greatest assets.
It will differentiate you from your competition. It can make all of the difference for you in every area of your life.
Your Attitude and Self-Discipline are the areas in life where you can have total control.
The Attitude and Self-Discipline you choose on a moment-by-moment basis will have a direct effect on the quality of your life and the magnitude of your achievements.
Self-discipline is about making a decision or choice to deny yourself momentary pleasure - for a better future.
It is a willing to listen to the voice that opts for excellence instead of settling for just being average.
Every decision you make today, will define your future.
When you make decisions, you must consider the long-term consequences of the decision that you are making that moment.
It is important to realize that – though appearance & presentation counts.
But - never forget, that your daily habits that reflect self-discipline (or not) will tell other people about what you really are.
Friends - People respect, trust and follow those who:
– “exercises self-discipline and delayed gratification” rather then
– “lives just for the moment with no strong sense of commitment to greater goals and dreams”
