Editorial - IMPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINING SELF
 
Bookmark and Share
 

People treat work as an activity of convenience for pleasure rather than as performance for achievement. That's why success eludes them.

We must adopt performance culture through stern self discipline. Discipline is not suppression. It is controlling lower instincts and faulty habits by weeding them out, just as before sowing seeds the farmer has to plough to break the unproductive surface of land to reach the rich soil.

Destruction of crude thoughts and habits is the first step to construction of new winning ways. Discipline helps training your faculties for giving REAL performance and ensuring success. Discipline helps use of intellect with strong will and positive emotions to control and guide one's actions. One is no longer at the mercy of old habits for he stops being driven by them. Remember, there is no shortcut to success. Success comes through learning winning techniques to empower one self and perform for achievement. One must not only learn winning techniques but also practice them.


Maintaining a development journal to record ideas is a valuable tool. Writing and practicing power ideas will help you making it your habit or second nature thus through self discipline success comes naturally and not as mere accident.
