Why Discipline Is The Key To Success • Elitarion

- Why Discipline Is Key To Success -

First we need to make sure that we have the same understanding. In this context, by discipline I mean:

The ability to control your emotions, or in other words, to do something even though you don't feel like it.

And by success:

Achieving a goal or executing a plan as planned, or even surpassing what you planned to do.

Let's take a fundamental look at this. What do you need to achieve a goal? If we break it down to the absolute basics, that's what you need:

The ability to achieve the specific goal.

Doing what needs to be done to (over)achieve it.

While point 1. is actually a no brainer, as it only requires a little realistic thinking, with point 2. discipline is the key.

So, again...why discipline? Think about it. What exactly prevents you from relentlessly doing what has to be done? Probably:

you feel tired,

watching Netflix i.e. immediate rewards/good feelings are more fun,

it feels tedious,

you starting to doubt if you're really able to achieve it,

you feel X,

you feel Y,

you feel Z.

Feelings, feelings, feelings... that stop you to achieve the things you actually want.

How to deal with it? Still do what has to be done! That's discipline!
