Learning About Self-Discipline
Brian Tracy quotes Elbert Hubbard’s definition of self-discipline as, “The ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” He said self-discipline, self-mastery and self-control are the basic building blocks of character and high performance.
Successful people are disciplined people. They are in control of themselves, in particular:
Successful people master their moods – They do things they should do even when they don’t feel like doing it.
Successful people watch their words – They control their tongue so as not to say anything wrong.
Successful people restrain their reactions – They are proactive in choosing their response to situations.
Successful people stick to their schedule – They control their time or their time will be controlled by others!
Successful people manage their money – They spend what they should and live below their means.
Successful people maintain their health – What’s the point to win all the world only to lose our body?
I confess there are many areas for me to improve. Let’s strive together for success!
