Discipline is an interesting concept. But let me ask you: do you think you’re an expert in it? If you’re not, fortunately for you there is time for you to become better at this crucial attribute.
Does discipline have a bit of a negative connotation? Google says that discipline is ‘the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.’ Sounds a bit full-on, doesn’t it?
Hearing the word discipline may not have struck much of a chord right? You and me both.
I’m sure you don’t like to be forced to do anything, especially something you don’t want to. Something you should know is that any time you come across a biography of any successful person (using ‘successful’ very loosely right now), it is discipline and persistence that reign supreme.
While there are no specific words of wisdom as to how to gain discipline; you should just take it one day at a time.
For example, do you relish at the idea of waking up early at all? Everyone loves their beauty, sleep, right? Who wants to wake up at an ungodly hour like 4 o clock every morning? In the beginning, just the mere thought of that might have sent shivers down your spine…
But focus. And just keep going. One day at a time. First focus on waking up early for one day, then two days, then the rest of the week, then two weeks, and another, and another. Before you know it, you’ll be waking up early for a month and a half, and then two months! Can you believe it?
The point is… discipline started with doing. It starts with taking action. And the more you practice any simple change, the bearable, and possibly even enjoyable it becomes.
EXECUTION.
