One of the ways I’ve become so successful is due in part to the fact that I’ve been able to continuously master the art of self-discipline.
While it’s true that I don’t always wake up at a certain time or achieve everything I set out to do on any particular day, life has taught me to plan ahead for unexpected realities as follows:
- Preparation
- The Application of Ongoing Education
- Eating Healthy and vigorous exercise
Annoying isn’t it?
Listen, I am far from Perfection, and in all seriousness, I’ve never liked the word or any of its iterations to begin with. Perfection embraces complacency.
Embrace challenges — they exist to strengthen you.
Diet and exercise have a lot to do with an individual’s state of well-being. Your brain requires it to function as best it can. There isn’t some magic pill out there that can make you healthy, or some gizmo for sale to get a better workout, and much like money, if you didn’t have to work for your sporty physique (and some of us don’t) — I guarantee beyond a shadow of any doubt — you won’t appreciate it.
Life is about opportunity and change — then reacting accordingly with the good and bad situations as they present themselves.
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
Q: Are you hungry for a Big Mac?
A: Get hungry for Kale Salad.
Q: Do you want to buy a new TV?
A: Invest in a computer monitor for your office.
Q: Do you drive to work?
A: Sell your car and walk, bike, or bus
Q: Do you rush to get things over with?
A: Take your time and enjoy the process.
Q: Do you find yourself trying to gratify one fleeting desire after the next?
A: Pray and meditate.
Stop serving yourself and start reaching out to build one another up — and just because our stomachs growl — doesn't mean it's time to eat.
Dream Big!
