Discipline
is the most important ingredient in the success formula.
It is the glue that
binds inspiration to achievement or as Jim Rohn said: “It is the
bridge between goals and accomplishments.”
He
went on to say: “We must all suffer from one of two pains: the pain
of discipline or the pain of regret. The difference is disciplines
weights ounces while regret weighs tons.”
Yet,
why is it that we so often fail to discipline ourselves to do the
activities that will bring us the results we want? The reason, I
believe, goes back to our childhoods when “discipline” was a
“bad” word and meant we would be punished.
What
we need to do is reframe our thinking of the word discipline. If you
discipline yourself to do the things necessary to achieve your goal
you will be Rewarded by receiving that goal.
Look
at it this way: Discipline + Correct Activities = Reward. Let me know
if this works for you.
