Napoleon Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich”, said, “The great master key to riches is nothing more or less than the self-discipline necessary to help you take full and complete possession of your own mind.”
He was right. Discipline enables you to take control of your mind, thoughts and actions, and stay on track, until you accomplish what you set out to do.
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” – Jim Rohn
“Confidence comes from discipline and training.” – Robert Kiyosaki
Read these quotes several times and think about them. Do you realize now how important discipline is?
Let me ask you, do you want to accomplish goals and do something valuable in your life, or just wish you could succeed, but do nothing? To accomplish goals you need discipline.
Do you want financial freedom, live your dreams or get things done? To accomplish this you need discipline.
If you lack discipline, everything would be more difficult to accomplish, would take more time and effort, or might just quit your plans.
This is true when you want to lose weight, exercise at the gym, study a new topic, make progress at your job or build a business.
Without self-discipline, you will just drift, get nowhere and accomplish nothing. With self-discipline, you can accomplish almost everything.
Discipline Is the Key to Success and Accomplishments
Discipline isn’t just about abstinence, controlling reactions, getting up early, or avoiding your certain foods. It is much more than that.
Discipline gives you control and mastery over your life and actions, and furnishes you with energy, willpower, motivation, and inner strength.
It gives you the ability to handle calmly difficult situations and the perseverance and persistence to continue with your actions, despite difficulties and obstacle, until you carry out successfully what you set out to do.
