it can be frustrating when you know you have to study but you just can't get
your head down and do it when you try to force yourself to be
disciplined but no matter how much you try you just can't so you know what to
do in the situation what do you do if you come from an undisciplined family or
you have undisciplined parents or everyone around you is undisciplined and
you're learning those bad habits let me tell you this you don't get discipline
from your parents you don't get disciplined from your friends or family
you don't get disciplined from an external source you have to get it from
within you when you set the bar so high for yourself when you maintain the
standard when you plan your days to maximize your chances sleeping eight
hours a day planning the next day the night before writing down what you have
to do all these things will help towards making you more disciplined so what can
you do when you feel like you don't want to study any longer close your eyes
envision what it'll feel like when you're done when you're done with your
five hours of studying when you open the exam paper and you quickly scan the
questions and you know the answer to every single question when you get your
exam results and your friends asked what grade you got and you can proudly tell
them when you're graduating with a 4.0 GPA and your family are proud to show
you off on the other hand envision what you'll feel like later if you don't go
and study when you let the discipline fade away when you're feeling depressed
because you know you're falling behind the rest of the class when you know an
exam is approaching and you're absolutely terrified because you know
you'll fail ask yourself which one you want to feel and at the end of the day
when you're headed off to bed remember what you did that day did you
push yourself and study to your full potential because if you did those hours
turn into weeks and those weeks turn into months and those months turn into
years and pushing yourself in those critical moments when you feel like
giving up will put you in a far better place not only for you but for the
people around you too but you have to maintain the discipline when you get to
the level when you become almost like a machine you don't think about whether
you're going to study or not because you don't give yourself that option you've
already made the commitment and there's no backing out of it every single day no
matter what and once you've committed to your study once you've committed to
learning to growing to becoming a better person then you've studied every single
day and by doing it every day it's one of the most powerful ways of building up
your entire life picking something in this case studying and committed to it
every single day those little daily actions build up over the year and that
is what will transform you do what you have to do every day
create a daily routine designate a study area develop a study timetable write
down a list of books to read create a study group
write down your educational goals and then every day with no exceptions don't
work you'll see the changes in your life for
yourself study in silence let your success make the noise your success
isn't recognized when you're studying until the early hours of the morning
it's not recognized when you're the first person walking into the library at
7:00 in the morning yet this is where your success is made it's during the
daily habits and routine when you're putting in the discipline and building
your work ethic on a daily basis and applying these skills consistently this
is what will push you to the next level it's the discipline that you cultivate
in the lonely nights of studying in the early mornings to have the results
you've got to be willing to do what everyone else is not willing to do you
have to go places where everyone else is not willing to go if you look at the
all-time greats all throughout history the top at 0.1% the true leaders the
Titans look at what they do they don't seek short-term pleasure in everything
they do that's what the 99% do the top is 0.1% do the opposite because they
understand that if you want to have a great life look at what the 99% dude
and do the opposite and if you are truly in the 0.1% be prepared your life will
change like you can't even imagine you can help people on a scale that is
unfathomable you can buy cars and houses like you didn't think was possible but
be prepared as you start changing the world you will be called a freak a
misfit greed they'll say that you just got lucky but remember this if you don't
have people hating on you then you're not there yet you can be world class or
you can fit in with the world you don't get to do both and I'll leave you with
the words of Matthew Hussey because this video was made for all the crazy people
the irrational z' for everyone that doesn't want to just live an average
life in order to craft a life that you love more than the life that you have
today you have to start being a little irrational reasonable people adapt
themselves to the world unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to
themselves all progress therefore depends on unreasonable people so you
have two options right now you can either be one of life's reasonable
people or you can be someone who's slightly unreasonable somebody who
demands more from life and if you haven't already started you can start
right now starting with one small decision how many hours are you planning
on studying tonight or tomorrow ask yourself that right now
how many hours are you planning on study that's great now double it that's how
many hours you will study tonight it's an easy first step to make so simple but
it can keep you out of your comfort zone
go with the non-traditional path the road less traveled be a leader be
revolutionary stop making excuses and get it done there's nobody in this world
that's going to get you what you want you're going have to go up there and get
what you want by studying hard being talented is not good enough you've got
to study hard and you've got to work hard stop waiting for somebody to come
in there and make your life perfect make your life great you got to do it you've
got to make the change in your life that you want to happen you cannot depend on
anybody the only person I'm ever going to rely on this world is myself because
I know that's the one thing I can control my attitude and my mentality
stop doing what you're doing every single day unless you're dedicated to
being great it's so sad to see so many young people give up on the life they
want to live just because they're scared of failure most people fear failure so
much that they don't even try therefore they fail just by default
achieving incredible grades will never be easy but the only way you can
guarantee to get poor grades is to not even try in the first place don't fear
putting yourself out there there's too much pressure to fit
fit in with friends fit in with society too afraid to dream about what you are
capable of and going out there and grabbing life by the horns
believe in yourself if you can dream it then you can be it if you believe it
then you can achieve it and it might not happen straightaway it might take you
longer than you expect an F grade student doesn't transition to an A grade
student overnight but if you're committed and maintain belief that in
the end you will achieve the results you are chasing then there's absolutely
nothing getting in your way it is within you you just gotta find it so when your
alarm clock goes off you have a decision to make and it takes discipline to do
this to get up and to make every single minute of your day count and you got to
do this every day no matter what it takes if you really want it that bad you
better get used to being uncomfortable what you concentrate on is what you get
you've got to concentrate if you concentrate you'll get the grades that
you want if you concentrate on improving your work ethic every day an incredible
work ethic is what you'll get if you concentrate on success every day success
is what you'll get it's not a difficult concept to understand
if you want to do something in your life whatever it is it's gonna take
concentration don't stop obstacles challenges distractions keep
moving forward when I think about it frankly I am nothing but weakness I'm
not naturally strong I'm not naturally fast I'm not naturally flexible and I'm
certainly not the smartest guy in the world and when I get emotional over
stupid things and I eat the wrong foods and I don't sleep enough and I
procrastinate and I waste time and it cares too much about stupid things and
not enough about important things and of course my ego is too big
but at the same time my mind is too small and it's trapped inside itself but
now that being said I have a saying and it's and you've probably heard me say it
before a person's strengths are often their biggest weaknesses and so that
also means that their weaknesses can be their strengths so me I am weak in all
those ways that I listed I am
but I don't accept that I don't accept that I am what I am and that that is
what I'm doing to be no I don't accept that I'm fighting I'm always fighting
I'm struggling and I'm scrapping when kicking and clawing at those weaknesses
to change them stop them
some days I win
some days I don't but each and every day I get back up and
I move forward with my fists clenched toward the battle
toward the struggle and I fight with everything I've got to overcome those
weaknesses and those shortfalls and those flaws as I strive to be just a
little bit better today than I was yesterday maybe you're struggling with
keeping up your report deadlines and all the exams approaching maybe you're going
through some family problems or financial difficulties or friendship
problems or relationship issues but that's okay you still have enough fight
left within you shake off that doubt shake off the negative thoughts going
through your mind you're in the right place you're exactly where you need to
be now your next step is to get your mind set in the right place and this is
where it will challenge you but that's not a bad thing you won't have to forge
a huge shift in mindset I've seen it happen I've seen D grade students
suddenly make a decision that they are better than that that they are capable
of achieving more than D grades and within weeks they've made a
transformation and suddenly they're a great students I've seen it happen I've
seen students that have been getting average grades their whole educational
journey and then suddenly a shift in mindset happens and they climb to the
top of the class and they stay there they stay at the top of the class until
they graduate now don't get me wrong it doesn't happen often it's not an easy
thing to do but I've seen it enough times to know it's definitely possible
and what I noticed is they fell into a dark place
somewhere where they had nowhere to go they were pushed into a corner and
fight-or-flight mode kicked in they had to make a decision
fight or flight and they chose fight because if you choose flight you
continue on the same path you continued getting the same grades you continue
having the same mediocre life that most people have because you choose to run
from your problems but if you choose fight doors start to open opportunities
make their way to you you become happier so how do you do that how do you choose
fight mode this is how you face your problems head-on you increase the amount
of studying you're doing from four hours - five - six - seven when you have ten
minutes free instead of taking out your phone to scroll through Instagram you
open your ebook and you read for ten minutes you drastically cut down the
time you're procrastinating because you're so focused on the goals you are
chasing you start to find that you're having fewer problems in your life the
stress of exams approaching does not exist anymore because you're so well
prepared and you studied so much for them when the exams do come you find
them easy when deadlines are getting closer it doesn't bother you because you
have completed everything weeks before the final deadline and if you keep this
up you'll find yourself building up momentum day by day until you're
swimming with the tide rather than against
studying actually becomes easier and you start to enjoy it
this will be a transformative year the truth is everyone watching this is going
through some kind of transformation we're all in the process of transforming
into a better smarter version of ourselves don't let the bad habits you
may have picked up in the past slow down your transformation destroy them
they're in the past now reset the habits you make now will determine your future
path this is your time
