No matter how many goals you have, whether to improve yourself or to succeed with women, you can't hope to achieve any of them unless you have the discipline to follow through to the end. You’ve probably told yourself time and time again "Today’s going to be different!" or "I’m really going to do it this time!" Naturally, you were enthusiastic at the beginning, and you may have even see some initial success, but as time went on, your enthusiasm faded, and was probably replaced by preoccupation with other things (e.g., work, school, family, chores, etc…). To excuse this preoccupation, you probably rationalized things by saying "it's too hard" or "I just don’t have time anymore." Neither of these excuses is acceptable if you still want to achieve your goals, and no matter how many other excuses you make (and you've probably made hundreds of others), it doesn't change the fact that they're all excuses for your failure to exercise the necessary discipline to achieve your goals.
Nobody is born with discipline. To be disciplined or undisciplined is a choice you make every minute of every day. Discipline is very simple – it's nothing more than the process of focusing on a goal without interruption until you’ve achieved that goal. Discipline is something you do, not something you have. Doing discipline means that you choose not to allow interruptions or the desires of others to become excuses for inaction or changing your plans.
Here are some key points that will help illustrate what "doing discipline" means:
· Discipline is maintaining complete control over your time.
· Discipline is remaining focused on your chosen goal without distraction or interruption.
· Discipline is keeping all agreements with yourself and other people, without making excuses or letting avoidable obstacles stand in your way.
· Discipline is keeping your mind, body and emotions in control regardless of what’s going on around you.
· Discipline is pushing to go forward, even when everything seems to be holding you back.
The benefits of "doing discipline" are limitless. You engender trust and confidence from other people. You free up hours of personal time every day, which can then be spent on goals that are important to you. Your life becomes predictable, such that the road ahead is clear and unobstructed by unnecessary considerations.
Focus is critical to "doing discipline." Allowing other things to interrupt your progress, or postponing the achievement of a particular goal until you "feel like it" are both failures to make a clear and conscious choice. Without focus, your mind is an uncontrolled maelstrom of thoughts, each of them taking you in dozens of random directions at a given moment. However, you have the power to control your mind through focus and the firm commitment to making "no excuses."
Forthcoming will be a series of articles on doing discipline in a variety of activities you know are important to succeeding in life, and with women. The "Doing Discipline" series will include articles on grooming, exercise and diet, home, work, school and women, among others. I hope that you'll enjoy them, and that you'll recognize that your success is simply a matter of choosing to succeed.
