DISCIPLINE
"It's not what you do once in a while; it's what you do day in and day out that makes the difference."
Jenny Craig
We are all very good at some point of time in our life. We have the best idea and in the best state of mental energy. We become enthusiastic and we want to conquer the entire world. But what happens after this initial spurt of activity is very important. Many of us do not follow through. We give up. We jump from one idea to another.
There are three most important things in life to succeed – clarity of our goal, focus and consistency. If you draw a triangle and put these qualities on the three corners and put your goal at the center of the triangle, you will understand what I mean.
One without the other will make your goal as mere `wish' or a `desire'. In life you don't get what you wish or desire. You only get what you deserve. You can deserve a goal only when you work very hard and consistently. It is not the spurts of energy, but is it the daily discipline that makes you what you are.
Stop reading this and draw the triangle and see where you are!
