Discipline is The Root of All Good Qualities.
It is the only means through which success is possible.
With discipline, you can develop all the skills you put your mind to. Become great
at your craft. Deliver the best performance of your life.
Though it is common sense that discipline is a must in the path of accomplishment,
almost nobody puts it into practice.
Because it hurts.
It hurts being disciplined.
It hurts being outside your comfort zone.
It hurts giving up your fun and joy for duty.
But do your know what hurts more than every one of those things combined?
Realizing that you didn’t do what you wanted to do with your life.
That you didn’t reach your full potential.
That you failed to do the most with what you had.
Remember this when you feel like trading the long term for the short term.
Nothing great is accomplished without consistency and sacrifice.
There Is Only One Way, The Way of Discipline.
Look at all the well-known entrepreneurs. Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Cuban.
What did they all have in common?
Discipline.
Look at all the artists that inspire people.
Will Smith, Matthew McConaughey, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
What did they all have in common?
Discipline.
Look at all the greatest champions. Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Usain Bolt.
What did they all have in common?
Discipline.
Do you want to be victorious?
You know what you got to do.
You will harness self-discipline.
You will wake up every day and embody the discipline
necessary to become the best at what you do.
You have to feel it with every fiber of your bone and put it into practice.
And as you do it, you speak your intention into existence
by proclaiming all that you commit to being from this moment forward.
Repeat with me.
I Take The First Step and Make Things Happen Now.
I don’t wait for anyone to tell me what to do, because I know what I want to achieve.
People may doubt me, discourage me and try to hold me back, but I will not falter.
I won’t hesitate in fear of what might happen.
I won’t delay my action due to possible failures. I will charge forward with the
intention to succeed, but if failure comes, I will take it with grace and learn from it.
I will try again, as many times as needed.
I won’t leave for tomorrow something that I can do today.
I will always make the first move with courage and strength.
I will keep going no matter what because I know I Have The Discipline to Accomplish My Goals.
I have what it takes.
I am focused on my goal. I pursue them with patience and diligence.
I know my victory is just a matter of time.
I Do What Needs to be Done, Even When I Don’t Feel Like Doing It.
Some days are okay, but others are hard as hell.
Some days everything goes wrong. I may lose my job, I may lose a loved one, I may lose a cause.
But I will never lose myself. I will always remember why I am doing what I am doing.
I may fall down so hard I may feel like I’m never going to be able to get up again.
But I will know better. I will rise again.
Even if I don’t want to.
I Will Finish My Tasks and Consistently Work Towards My Goals, No Matter How I Feel.
Because my feelings don’t matter if I have the will to keep pushing it.
Abraham Lincoln once said,
“Discipline is choosing between what you want now, and what you want most.”
So I will choose what I want most. Because even if it doesn’t make me feel the best right now,
I know it is the best for the future.
I Resist All Temptations and Remain Focused on my Dream.
When the impulse to go to a party instead of studying for my exam comes I will ignore it.
When the need to quit along the way arises, I will hold it back.
When the temptation to do something that though pleasurable will set me
back on my journey to success appears, I will stop myself.
Because I know the long run is the best.
I am Full of Discipline, I am Focused and Persistent.
I schedule my day so I get the most out of it.
I eat well. I exercise. I learn new things.
I take care of my body and my mind, so I can give my best performance.
My eyes are on the prize.
I focus on the life I want and try to live as close to it as it is possible at the moment.
I persist through adversity.
When something goes wrong I try again. And again. And again until I make it.
I am In Control of My Behavior.
My feelings can’t hold me back because I can act despite them.
The circumstances may make my life harder, but I choose to find a way.
I choose to not be defined by my difficulties or where I came from.
I choose to not be defined by my failures.
I choose to not be defined by my moments of temptation.
I am the amalgamation of the time, effort, and persistence I put into my objectives.
I am the master of my thoughts
I know the mind is the key to my body as well as everything I want to create.
I live in a positive mindset because what I choose to focus on creates my reality.
Every time doubts come, I push them aside.
Every time the negative voice in my head starts speaking, I shut it off.
Every time pain starts I remember it is temporary.
The bad things won’t last forever.
Because I am In Charge of My Own Outcome.
I hold the keys to my future.
I am the only thing that can make me fail or succeed.
No competition, no setback, no hardship is enough to make me stop.
I am a force of nature.
Flexible but strong like the water that pours down the sky and rages on the rivers and oceans.
Renewable like the rain forest. Tall and strong like its trees.
Fast like the wind.
I am unstoppable.
I Believe in Myself Enough to Follow Through Every Step of the Way.
When life hits me, I will push back.
When I fail I will try again.
When all seems lost, I will find a way.
When despair wraps itself around everything, I will find hope.
When the world is immersed in darkness, I will find the light.
I will stay disciplined through every situation.
Because Self-Discipline is Self-Love, and I Love Myself
I love myself too much to let me waste my life.
I love myself too much to give up in the middle of the way.
I love myself too much to say ‘yes’ to destructive things.
I honor my path to get where I am today.
And I know there is still so much to come.
My sacrifices will be rewarded with the greatest accomplishments.
I have been disciplined.
I have been fair.
I have been committed.
No dream I can imagine is too great for me to accomplish.
All Things are Possible With Self-Discipline.
All things will come to fruition with self-discipline.
This truth has taken me through my darkest moments and will keep taking me until the end.
I know who I was and I know who I have become because of discipline.
It is my greatest strength.
And I will keep it until the rest of my life because I know
it is the only path to the greatness I want to achieve.
