It’s called DISCIPLINE! Discipline is controlling yourself to make as many right choices as possible and is the bridge between failure and success in life.
If you want to make a difference in your life, you don’t need more motivation to do so. What you need is discipline. When it comes to success, self-discipline is critical.
Here are the five main areas that discipline people focus on to set themselves apart:
1. Hard work:
If you want to succeed in life you have to be willing to work harder than anyone else to set yourself apart. Disciplined people are not satisfied living an average life. They crave testing the boundaries of who they are and what they can become. It’s not about perfection. It’s about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that’s when transformation happens. Discipline in the moment is also a guaranteed form of greatness, that is taking what you do seriously and caring about it.
2. Healthy lifestyle:
Disciplined people believe in healthy lifestyles. They understand that to thrive in life no matters in what areas they need to be healthy. Whether that is eating healthy, being active, meditating, stretching, etc
3. Mindset:
Disciplined people are aware about the thoughts they allow to occupy their mind. They make the conscious decision to think only in terms of success. The attitude they keep is positive. They train for mindset.
4. Patience:
One of humanity’s biggest issue is instant gratification. To be disciplined one must be patient. Success in life is a process and disciplined people understand that patience is their greatest asset. No one gets to where they want to be overnight. With discipline, any goal is achievable.
5. Accountability:
The fact or condition of being accountable and take full responsibility for what is going on in your life. They stop blaming others for their failures. They take full responsibility for their actions. They refrain from blaming others when things don’t work in their favors. If something doesn’t work out they analyze what went wrong and take everything into account to improve going forward.
Would you consider yourself being disciplined?
The early risers and grinders are no different than anyone else. They are just DISCIPLINED. When they have a moment of weakness they ask themselves “What would an average person do?” And then do the opposite. If your actions are unordinary you will achieve unordinary results.
Routines and structures in your life are the best way to tackle discipline. Being self disciplined is about developing a practice of being in charge and becoming your own boss. It's about cultivating the mindset to override any negativity for example “It is too hard and I am tired”. We all fall out, we are human. It is about getting back to where you want to be, knowing who you want to be and where you want to return to at all times.
