Self-Imposed Discipline: A Critical Key to the Finishing Line
Principles on how to apply self-imposed discipline in our lives in order to achieve the "finish line greatness" that is within all of us. This year, with these principles, we can achieve our dreams and goals.
This year doesn’t have to end the same way as it did last year for us. Many of us wrote many beautiful well-thought out plans, but found them still tucked away in our journals, notebooks, or saved on our computers at the end of the year, revisiting them once more, asking ourselves the same old questions that we have asked ourselves year after year: where did I go wrong? What happened to me? How did I get so far off track? What’s wrong with me that I can’t stay on point and fulfill my dreams? As you have heard so many times, “Insanity is doing the same things, but expecting different results.” It will never change useless we are willing to apply self-imposed discipline and fight to stay awake throughout the year with a mentor by our side to help us and guide us. There are 12 months. I want you to pause and think about that – “12 months.” Can we stay consciously aware of our dream plans to make it to the finish line? Are we willing to be held accountable for our actions by deliberately seeking those who have already achieved what we want to achieve and allow them to guide us and mentor us through our dreams into a physical reality. Let us cross the finishing lines of greatness together this year.
…Stay tuned for part two of this article. There are five more steps of self-discipline that I want to share with you. I would like to hear from you about this article. Perhaps we can build a bridge to each of our dreams and mentor each other in the things we have been able to do successfully and with the finish line greatness, helping one another. Tell me your dreams for this year and let’s start a mentoring group. We can find out who has lost weight and made it to the finish line of greatness and who has that as a finish line goal for this year, who has a lucrative- thriving Internet business and wants to start a lucrative-thriving Internet business, who has a great writing career (books/poetry/ezines, etc.) and who wants to start a great writing career and etc. Our motto could be: “Pairing and Partnering for Success: The Finish Line to Greatness.”
P.S. Every word flowed straight from my heart to your heart. Not once did I have to consult any reference to write this article. I can do this type writng all day and all night. I hope it was of some value.
