Discipline – Do you have it?

“training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character”

Do you have it?  Do you have what it takes to be successful?  Do you keep going to it every day knowing that it will eventually bear good fruit?  Are you practicing the technique, perfecting the plan and diligently pursuing your goal?  Do you have it?

Discipline is that word that is a personal challenge for many people.  To maintain or lose weight you have to have the discipline to live a healthy lifestyle.  To save money, you have to have the discipline to spend less than what you earn.  To become good at anything you have to have to discipline to practice the technique or lay the foundation.  You must do what you have to do even though you may not feel like doing it.  Discipline is doing it in spite of your feelings.

Great rewards require great sacrifice.  Great results require even greater discipline.  Feelings are deceitful, and will trick your mind into relenting from the path that you are on.  If you become undisciplined, you will take a detour and delay your arrival at your final destination.  Do it – even though you don’t feel like it... Do it anyway!
