Daily Wisdom – Motivational Podcast – Day 418 – Inspiration: Above and Beyond
A writer once said “You have to learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”
Quite amazing, isn’t it?
Very interesting, indeed.
“But to have more, however, than you have got at this point, you have got to become more than who you are”.
So what does that mean and where does that lead us?
Well, at the core of success and in all aspects of self-development, there is nothing greater than the concept of self-discipline. Self-discipline is the key to action, success, growth, and all imaginative ways that you can enhance your life, in every aspect, emotional, physical, psychological, spiritual, in every kind. Interestingly enough, self-discipline is something that you can control by yourself.
How does self-discipline help and where does it come from?
Well, here’s the way it works. As one writer said, “inch by inch, everything is a cinch”. You have to start with the little disciplines and you have to begin to string them together, one discipline next to the other. You start tackling just the many small disciplines and then slowly but surely, you’ll master the bigger ones. For instance, if you want to get to work on time and you want to become more punctual, just get up 10 minutes or 15 minutes earlier. If you want to become rich, start developing a plan which will help you get there. If you want to become healthier, start writing up diets and exercise that you need to follow. Everything requires a plan. No plan is a plan to fail. By you paying attention to those details and setting up disciplines for yourself, you will see that everything affects everything else and every low standard will adversely affect the rest of your performance if you don’t pay attention.
Why? When you do less than you’re capable, slowly but surely, you will create a lack of self-esteem. This lack of self-esteem is the greatest deterrent to success and it will stop you from doing so many things in your life.
So the key is to focus on discipline. Slowly but surely, as it says, inch by inch, in growing that aspect, your self-discipline will become part of your life, will become part of what you’re doing. It will help you. You’ll develop great skills and the self-discipline will become part of your daily routines. They will become you and they’ll get you to success inch by inch, guaranteed.
