Engaging in
genuine discipline requires that you develop
the ability to take action. You don't need
to be hasty if it isn't required, but you
don't want to lose much time either. Here's
the time to act: when the idea is hot and
the emotion is strong. Let's say you would
like to build your library. If that is a
strong desire for you, what you've got to do
is get the first book. Then get the second
book. Take action as soon as possible,
before the feeling passes and before the
idea dims. If you don't, here's what happens
-
Intention
Leads to Actions, When Acted upon Fast
We intend to take action
when the idea strikes us. We intend to do
something when the emotion is high. But if
we don't translate that intention into
action fairly soon, the urgency starts to
diminish. A month from now the passion is
cold. A year from now it can't be found.
So take action. Set up a discipline when
the emotions are high and the idea is
strong, clear, and powerful. If somebody
talks about good health and you're motivated
by it, you need to get a book on nutrition.
Get the book before the idea passes,
before the emotion gets cold. Begin the
process. Fall on the floor and do some
push-ups. You've got to take action;
otherwise the wisdom is wasted.
The emotion soon passes unless you apply
it to a disciplined activity. Discipline
enables you to capture the emotion and the
wisdom and translate them into action.
A Plan That Will Take You from Discipline to Wealth
The key is to increase your motivation by
quickly setting up the disciplines. By doing
so, you've started a whole new life process.
Here is the greatest value of discipline:
self-worth, also known as self-esteem. Many
people who are teaching self-esteem these
days don't connect it to discipline.
But once we sense the least lack of
discipline within ourselves, it starts to
erode our psyche. One of the greatest
temptations is to just ease up a little bit.
Instead of doing your best, you allow
yourself to do just a little less than your
best. Sure enough, you've started in the
slightest way to decrease your sense of
self-worth. You've got to "Take
Charge of Your Life".
There is a problem with even a little bit
of neglect. Neglect starts as an infection.
If you don't take care of it, it becomes a
disease. And one neglect leads to another.
Worst of all, when neglect starts, it
diminishes our self-worth.
Once this has happened, how can you
regain your self-respect? All you have to do
is act now!
Start with the smallest discipline that
corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the
commitment: "I will discipline myself to
achieve my goals so that in the years ahead
I can celebrate my successes."
Discipline is the bridge between goals
and accomplishment.
We must all suffer from one of two pains:
the pain of discipline or the pain of
regret. The difference is discipline weighs
ounces while regret weighs tons.
All disciplines affect each other.
Mistakenly the man says, "This is the only
area where I let down." Not true. Every let
down affects the rest. Not to think so is
naive.
Discipline is the foundation upon which
all success is built. Lack of discipline
inevitably leads to failure.
Discipline has within it the potential
for creating future miracles.
The best time to set up a new discipline
is when the idea is strong.
One discipline always leads to another
discipline.
Affirmation without discipline is the
beginning of delusion.
You don't have to change that much for it
to make a great deal of difference. A few
simple disciplines can have a major impact
on how your life works out in the next 90
days, let alone in the next 12 months or the
next 3 years.The least lack of discipline
starts to erode our self-esteem. |

YOUR Secret To Being Wealthy and Successful
When it
comes to meeting and conquering the
negativity in your life, here is a key
question: what can you do, starting today,
that will make a difference? What can you
do during economic chaos?
What can you do when everything has gone
wrong? What can you do when you've run out
of money, when you don't feel well and it's
all gone sour? What can you do?
Let me give you the broad
answer first. You can do the most remarkable
things, no matter what happens. People can
do incredible things, unbelievable things,
despite the most impossible or disastrous
circumstances.
Here is why humans can do
remarkable things: because they are
remarkable. Humans are different than any
other creation. When a dog starts with
weeds, he winds up with weeds. And the
reason is because he's a dog. But that's not
true with human beings. Humans can turn
weeds into gardens.
Humans can turn nothing
into something, pennies into fortune, and
disaster into success. And the reason they
can do such remarkable things is because
they are remarkable. Try reaching down deep
inside of yourself; you'll come up with some
more of those remarkable human gifts.
They're there, waiting to be discovered and
employed.
With those gifts, you can
change anything for yourself that you wish
to change. And I challenge you to do that
because you can change.
If you don't like how something is going for
you, change it. If something isn't enough,
change it. If something doesn't suit you;
change it. If something doesn't please you,
change it
You don't ever have to be the same after
today. If you don't like your present
address change it — you're not a tree!
If there is one thing to
get excited about, it's your ability to make
yourself do the necessary things, to get a
desired result, to turn the negative into
success. That's true excitement. |

Imagine how you'll feel the day you discover your
habits
and
disciplines
have all paid off. The time of harvesting the
fruits of our springtime labor. This is what "Take
Charge of Your Life
is all about.
Fall also presents
us with another major lesson to learn in life, and
that is to learn how to reap in the fall without
apology if you have done well and without
complaint if you have not.
For nothing is more
exciting than a bounteous crop, and nothing more
dreadful than a barren field in the fall.
We must remember that in all areas of the human
existence, what we put into this world, we get back
from it. It is nature's way of evening the score.
So regardless of the results, take full
responsibility for your crop. One of the highest
forms of human maturity is accepting full
responsibility for our lives.
Which brings me back to the beginning of our
discussion from this article. We must remember that
life is constantly recycling itself. Much of life is
about the balancing of two opposites; like the
positive and negative charge on a battery. Life's
balancing of opposites totally surrounds our lives;
man/woman, day/night, good/evil, life/death,
water/land, summer/winter, recession/expansion,
joy/sorrow, etc.
Yes, I believe we will have major changes, but I
also believe we will continue to have just one winter,
spring, summer and fall each year. Much of our
success will lie in our ability and philosophy to
plant in the springtime of opportunity.
To weed and cultivate in the testing time of
summer, to harvest without apology and/or complaint in
the results time of fall and to get stronger, wiser,
better in the transition and learning times of winter.
Remember it is not what happens to you that
determines your future, it is what you do about it.
