In our previous article we learnt about how determination can propel one to the highest end, but we were presented with a fact that something is beyond determination.
Determination is a vital factor in every endeavor, he who is determined could race against the wind and win. You must be determined to begin the project, task, assignment, business and etc.
But beyond that is something; very neccesary, and just like a 4X4 baton relay; it takes over from determination. You could be the most determined person at the beginning of your enterprise but you are assured of a drop off along the way if you do not have this element.
Many people get disappointed along the way, especially when they struggle to achieve their desired results. They give up eventually because they lack this special element.
This special element is DISCIPLINE, yes DISCIPLINE. Without it; all your efforts will amount to nothing, without it; all your struggles will be in vain. Starting off and giving up half-way is an indication of the absence of it.
It is discipline that will keep you on track, it will keep you in check, cause you to be tactful and frugal. Discipline will cause you to cut waste and make full out of everything, 24 hours will look like 48 to you when you are discipline enough.
According to dictionary.com, Discipline means - the quality of being able to behave and work in a controlled way which involves obeying particular rules or standards. Yes, behaving in a certain standard is what I am talking about, ignoring all that that does not resonate with or relate to what we are up to is what I am trying to mean.
Just as a student needs to be disciplined in order not miss classes and also be there in time, a military man needs to be disciplined in order to be present at parade grounds whenever the need be. And it is same in the business world, you must be disciplined so you don't waste too much time in bed.
Mixing Determination and Discipline will do the magic of propelling you to the highest height you have been aiming at. Be Disciplined and make sure you don't cause too much wastage or find yourself in wrong places and see the wonders that will follow.
Thank you for reading, please do well to share. We shall be looking at to be Disciplined in or out next piece.
