From Good to Great: How Discipline Helps You Reach Your Full Potential
The Discipline Blueprint: How to Build a Stronger, Better You
“Tough times do not last but, tough people do”- Robert Schuller
Everybody tells you that discipline is important but nobody tells you why. Potential is something that everyone has but not everyone uses it. After you read the following there is no turning back - you will definitely improve.
Why was J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" so famous? She knew she had the potential and used it. Why is there a bulb that provides you light in your house right now? because Thomas Edison believed he could do it. Why is there equality in South Africa? because Nelson Mandela knew it was possible. And why did these people do what they did?! Because they knew that consistency and discipline would help them through the way! That's the power of discipline. That's what made them great characters. That’s how these great characters are related to discipline and consistency.
What is “Discipline”?
Discipline is a MINDSET through which a person can achieve success with hard work, consistency, and perseverance. If you have discipline, you will have the mentality to achieve anything and destroy all the obstacles coming your way. Discipline won’t disappear the obstacles but it will help you to face them just like how an umbrella doesn’t stop the rain but will protect you from it.
Can you use your full potential?
It is not that only a few people have potential but, only a very few use the potential they have. Using potential is a skill that requires practice and only discipline will help you do that. Suppose if you are not committed to your ideas then you are losing your time and potential. Discipline and a good character will help you stay committed.
Good character = Commitment.
“No pain, No gain”
A good character is something that only a very few people have. Many people want to achieve something without going through the hardships of life and success. Hardships are there everywhere. Even if it’s just putting food on your table or becoming a billionaire, hardships will follow you.
If you have a good character (hard-working, determined, filled with goals and ambition) you will automatically be committed to your ideas and your grand vision. Everyone has a grand vision become only the minority achieve it. And the minority who achieve it will never show the hardships and the pain that they went through.
Hardships can be destroyed with good character. If you have a good character, giving up is not an option for you. If you have a good character, wasting your time on useless things, showing off, and spending money and your precious time on things will be your low standards. A person with a good character will never waste their time on what they don’t need. Their goal is fixed in their mind and they will do anything to reach it.
How to reach your full potential?
To reach your full potential, you will need to do these things as follows:
Set clear goals.
Adopt discipline and consistency.
Don’t stop learning.
Failure will be your teacher.
Your comfort zone will be your worst enemy.
Self-reflection is a must.
Physical health = mental health.
A growth mindset is your friend.
Patient = success.
Remember that in this journey you are all alone. The people who are with you may or maybe not leave you for good. You will be your own best friend. So think, learn act, and implement.
