03 Mar Self-Discipline – Stick with it
4-10 March 2019
‘Life isn’t meant to be easy’ is a popular quote that I’m sure you’ve heard before. I suspect this is because when you want to achieve something in life that is important to you it requires self-discipline to stick with whatever you need to do in order to achieve your goal.
Once you create a habit, it becomes just that – a habit. Habits naturally become habitual and before long you find yourself taking the action without the effort required at the beginning of building the habit.
Motivation to fulfill our goal comes and goes and this is why self-discipline is required. Whatever goal you have decided upon requires action to obtain that goal and you need to stick with it until your goal has been completed.
Your goal can be life-long such as going for a daily walk or practicing meditation while others can be short term such as decluttering your home or studying for an exam. Whatever you do it becomes easier and easier the more often you do it which is why creating a habit is important.
We all have goals in life, both long term, and short term, what are you going to put your energy into until you achieve it? Whatever you do just stick with it as you will feel great once you complete your goal not only about having your task completed but also about yourself.
“Eveyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of self-discipline or the pain of regret” – Jim Rohn

How to practice the ‘Character Of The Week’ (5 mins a day max.):
- Every morning: 1) Read the card; 2) Reflect on what the card is saying to you right now; 3) Have a great day by trusting that this characteristic will come to mind at the right time during your day
- Every evening: 1) Reflect whether, when and how you strengthened this characteristic today; 2) if you did strengthen it be proud of who you are; if you didn’t strengthen that characteristic what would do differently next time if you got the opportunity.
- Life is all about living and learning – and taking action – enjoy!
