Learning About Self-Discipline

Published by Ricky under Character

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!
