Discipline the Determinant Factor that Determines Your Destiny -
Hi folks, as i mentioned earlier, this year i will be sharing here, Proven and Practical Success Principles and Strategies anyone can apply and transform his or her life to become successful and fulfilled irrespective of the person's financial or educational background. I discovered that anyone can rise and become great against all odds, if the fellow can seek, discover and apply the principal principles that guarantees success and greatness.
Hence, am sharing the vital extract from my new book- The 10 Commandments of God for Success & Fulfillment.
Endeavour to share you viewpoints and comments after reading this. I will like to know your opinion on my assertion that : Discipline is the Major Determinant Factor that Determines our Destines. Also, i implore you to get a copy of the book in question"...
Discipline
comes to those with the awareness that for a kite to fly high, it must rise
against the wind; that all good things are achieved by those who are willing to
swim upstream; that drifting aimlessly through life only leads to bitterness
and disappointments - Jim Rohn
Discipline is all about doing the right thing at the
right time with the right attitude.
Truly, failure is a product of lack of discipline,
every time you fail to think, create, do, care, persist, strive, learn or
perform any task that is necessary to move you closer to your dream or goal,
you are failing.
Discipline is
the master key that unlocks the door of miracles, wealth, happiness, success
and fulfillment.
Discipline is
the bridge between imagination and actualization of dreams. It is going the
extra mile – Anthony Chiugo Nwokolo.
Always Go The
Extra Mile
If your goal requires that
you call ten prospects or clients today and you end up calling three, you are
behind by seven. If your financial plan for instance requires that you save
twenty dollars a day and you end up saving none, you are behind by twenty
dollars today. And within a short period of time, all those days you failed to
meet up to the expectations or goals would translate to your failure to
accomplish that goal. But in other words, when your goal or dream requires that
you call ten prospects and you called twelve, you’re disciplined and have gone
the extra mile. When you save twenty or twenty five dollars a day according to
your goal or dream, you are disciplined, which will automatically translate to
your success.
There Is So Much in Little Efforts
The bible tells us that
how great a ship a little leakage sinks it and how great a fire, a little spark
kindles it - James 3:5, 6.
In other words, the
foregoing scripture is telling us that when you leave a little task that
supposed to be done, it can accumulate and cause your dream or goal to fail or
delay. Great achievements or accomplishment are started by little efforts or
initiatives backed up with self-discipline.
Truly, it
is the little extra commitment that makes ordinary people extra-ordinary.
The
control centre of your life is your attitude, and your attitude determines your
altitude.
May I remind you the words
of Harry S. Truman; “In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they
won was over themselves, Self-discipline came first”.
Do You Have What It Takes?
Are you ready to continue working
on your business or projects, even if you are not getting the Appreciations,
Rewards or Payments you anticipate right away?
Can you work for a long
period of time without getting paid, with hope that you will be paid or make
your millions or even billions after you
have worked and built yourself, your mind, your skills, your products, your
business, organization, career or profession?
If your answers are yes, to the foregoing
questions, I predict that you shall be great in life.
Let the Gestation Period Take Its Place
If you start a new
business or venture you have to give it some time, may be months or years
before it starts to generate enough cash flow for your break through margin.
This period of investing
time, energy and resources without receiving or making profit and yet you keep
on keeping the business or venture ongoing is called gestation period. It takes
nothing but discipline and patience to stick to that business or project even
though it is not yielding immediate returns at the moment. Professional
athletes work on themselves for a long period of time, before they are
recognized and rewarded as champions or stars. That is discipline in action and
at its peak.
A lot of business,
ventures or professionals that are destined to be great, are sold out and,
eventually buried when expectations did not manifest instantly in sales,
profits and cash flow. People always forgot that there are bound to be
gestation period before a pregnant woman can deliver a baby. In pregnancy, the
gestation period is nine months.
Friends, I implore you to
wait for your business or your ministry, your investment to mature fully. You
cannot sow a seed now and expect it to grow over-night and yield fruits the
next day. You need to cultivate and keep watering, weeding managing and
nurturing the plant before it shall yield fruit. Some seeds germinate and yield fruits in one
month, some in two months, some in one year and some in three years. See Gen
8:22, Habakkuk 2:3
It’s worthwhile to note
that the longer it takes for a seed to germinate, grow and yields fruits, the
greater the value of the fruit. A corn of maize takes three months to yield a
fruit for harvest, where as a Mango tree takes five years and above to yield
fruits for harvest.
