12. Building Self-discipline
For some of us, discipline is a dirty word. We conjure up images of a task
master cracking his whip or a sergeant yelling at his soldiers.
But believe it or not, self-discipline actually offers you a sort of freedom. When
you have the discipline to continue reaching for you goals despite how you are
feeling at the moment, you will enjoy all the results of that effort and the time
that it creates for you.
If you lack self-discipline, you may be aimless, wandering, starting one thing
without finishing it and moving on to something else.
You may get frustrated and find that you aren’t able to reach you goals even
though it feels like you are trying to do so.
“Self-discipline requires the ability to act according to what you are thinking
rather than what you are feeling at the time.”
