How To Build Consistent Self-Discipline In Worst Time of Your Life (Key to Success in Life) | Jim Rohn - Success Addicted - Motivational Speeches

Speaker 1 Every new discipline affects the rest. Every new discipline makes a difference that's why action is so important. The smallest action, the least action, the action that you won't think, will matter it all matters, take it because when you start accomplishing and the value starts to return, you'll find inspiration to do the next one. And the next one, and the next one. But for this whole process, To work for us. We must first Master, the art of discipline self-discipline, consistent self-discipline. It doesn't really matter how smart you are or how much, you know, if you don't use it, it doesn't really matter that you graduated magna cum laude. If you're stuck in a low-paying job, it doesn't really matter if you attended every seminar that comes to town, if you don't apply what you've learned, Better than knowledge is applied knowledge and once we've applied our knowledge, we must study the results of that process, apply our knowledge study, the results, refine our approach, finally by trying and observing and refining and trying. Again our knowledge will inevitably produce worthy results, admirable results. And with the joy and results of our efforts, we continue to apply to learn to observe to fuel our ambition, with the positive reinforcement of continued progress. Pretty soon, we'll find that were swept into a spiral of achievement a vertical rise to success. It takes consistent self-disciplined to master the art of setting goals to master the art of time management to master the art of leadership. To master the art of parenting and relationships. If we don't make consistent self-discipline part of our daily lives, the results. We seek will be sporadic and Elusive. It takes a consistent effort to truly manage our valuable time or will be consistently frustrated. Our time will be eaten up by others. Whose demands are stronger than our own. It takes discipline to conquer the nagging voices in our minds. And the fear of failure, the fear of success, the fear of poverty, the fear of a broken heart. It takes discipline to keep trying when that nagging voice within us, brings up the possibility of failure. It takes discipline to admit our errors and recognized, our limitations, the voice of the human ego speaks to all of us. Sometimes the voice of ego says that we should magnify our value beyond our results. It leads us to exaggerate to not, be totally honest. It takes discipline to be totally honest, both with ourselves and with others. It takes discipline to change a habit because habits are formed a little bit each day every day. Every day, once habits are formed, they act like a giant cable. They act like a nearly unbreakable Instinct that only long-term disciplined activity can change. Speaker 2 You just got to go home and make a list after today. And here's the question to ask, as you make this personal list, What am I not doing? That would be easy to do. That could greatly change my health, my wealth. What am I not doing? I'm neglecting that would be easy to do. Just go home and answer that question. Personally, you don't have to put the answers on a public bulletin board. This is just all personal stuff that here's how you get, a miracle going for your life. Number one, do Speaker 1 what you can get a list of the Speaker 2 stuff you could do and you haven't done postponed and start cleaning that up, you can't start at a better place for personal change, that will affect your bank account, affect your future affect your income effect, everything you can't start a better life. Change process than cleaning up, what you should be doing. The man says, well, my mother lives down in Florida should have written her six months ago. I just can't seem to get that letter written. I'm asking you to get that letter, written, clean that up, and don't walk like other people walk. Don't postpone like other people postponed. You say, well, is it as simple as writing a letter and the answer is yes. Where else would you start for life change, personal change. Now, here's the second part of the miracle. Number one is, do what you can. Here's number two, do the best you can. If That's not your philosophy. I would ask you to amended. Let me give you the best of ancient script. Here's what it says, whatever your hands find to do, do it with all. Your might do it with all your strength and do it with all your power. What a good philosophy that kind of philosophy. Revolutionize your life. If you haven't picked it up late guy slips in late. Come he doesn't seem to mind. Slips out early, first one in the parking lot, heading for happy hour, stretches his break comes early. For lunch late back from lunch company, doesn't seem to notice guy says best as I can calculate, I'm putting in about a half a day's work and I'm collecting a full day's pay little does he know the seeds of his own disaster are already being sewn by the weakness of his own personal philosophy. Speaker 1 It's not the economy Speaker 2 that's going to determine your next six years. It's your philosophy about Labor and about activity. And about miracle and soil and seed and sunshine and rain, and the economy, and Speaker 1 the banks, and the money, and the Speaker 2 companies, and the schools, and what's going on your philosophy, and your attitude, and then your ability to take action, all of that, we call the process of life change miracle-working, Speaker 1 consistent self-discipline Speaker 2 set up a discipline when the emotions are high and the idea is strong and clear and Powerful. That's the time to set up the discipline. Somebody talks about good. Health and your stirred, right? I need to get a book on nutrition. Get the vote before the idea passes and do-over for the emotion gets cold. Go for the book, start the library. Start the process fall on the floor, do some push-ups action, got to take action, otherwise the wisdom is wasted otherwise the emotion soon passes, unless you put it into a disciplined activity capture it. Disciplines is called how to capture the emotion, and how to capture the wisdom and translated into Equity disciplines. You start walking around the block, it'll inspire you to get an Apple. Get an Apple to inspire you to get a book, get a book, it'll inspire you to get a journal, get a journal. It was fire you to grow. Develop some skills, all disciplines affect each other, every lack affects the rest. Every new affects the rest. The key is to diminish, the lack and set up the new and you started a whole new life process. Also one more thought on discipline. Here's the greatest value of discipline self worth. Self-esteem. Beaver teaching self esteem these days but they don't connect it to disciplines. The least lack of discipline and it starts to erode our psyche. One of the greatest Temptations is to just ease up a little bit, right? The the slightest lack of doing your best starts to erode the psyche. Instead of doing your best doing, just a little less than your best. Sure enough, you say, well, let's just going to affect my sales. No, it's going to affect your Consciousness. It's going to affect you. last Epi now you've begun in the slightest way to affect your own philosophy, Here's the problem with the least neglect, neglect starts as an infection, and if you don't take care of it, it becomes a disease. And one neglect leads to another. And the worst of all when neglect starts it diminishes our self-worth, our self-confidence, ourselves value. You say, well, how can I get back? My self-respect, I'm telling, you don't have to go to 29 classes. All you have to do is start the smallest discipline that now corresponds to your own philosophy, like I should, and I could, and I will no longer will. I let neglect stack up on me, so that I will have the sorry scenario secure from now, giving some excuses. Instead of celebrating my progress. That's the key to discipline. Okay, let's go. Get kids involved in the least of disciplines one more, and then one more, and then another one, and then another one, and then some more, and the first thing, you know, you're starting to weave the tapestry of a disciplined life in which you can pour more wisdom and more attitude and more strong feeling more faith and more courage. Now you've got something to vessel in which to put it and now the equity start to flow and the early return, I'm telling you, if you'll start this process, the early return, we'll have you so excited, you'll commit yourself to this strategy for the rest of your life. You'll never go back to the old ways. Join a new crowd, killing a new group, The disciplines to do take action. Speaker 1 Now, here's the other side of discipline. If there's considerable time that passes between the moment of awareness than the time of our implementation, then that is called procrastination. Procrastination doing it tomorrow. Instead of today, procrastination and almost exact opposite of discipline. The voice within us says get it done discipline, then says, do it. Now, do it to the best of your ability today, tomorrow and always until finally, the worthy deed becomes Speaker 2 instinctive. Speaker 1 Procrastination says later tomorrow, whenever I get a chance. Procrastination, also says, do what is necessary to get by or to impress, others do what you can but not what you must. In every circumstance we Face. We are constantly presented with these two choices. Do it now or do it later. Discipline and procrastination, a choice between a disciplined existence bearing, the fruit of achievement and contentment or procrastination. The easy life, for which the future will bear? No. Fruit only the bare branches of mediocrity. The rewards of a disciplined life are great but they're often delayed until sometime in the future. The rewards for the lack of discipline our immediate but they are minor in comparison to the immeasurable rewards of consistent self-discipline An immediate reward for lack of discipline, is a fun day at the beach, a future reward of discipline is owning the beach foremost. We choose today's pleasure rather than tomorrow's Fortune. So, how can you get rid of the easy distractions, how can you keep your mind on what you're trying to do? How can you keep an attitude of doing it all and doing it? Now how can you make the choice of discipline over procrastination? How can you stay focused on your Ambitions? How can you avoid conversations at the water cooler? You can keep your focus on your Speaker 2 work, Speaker 1 you can get it done today. Instead of tomorrow, you've got to really work on your consistent self-discipline on a daily basis or you'll find yourself distracted distracted by negative thoughts, distracted by - people distracted by water. Cooler chatter and pretty soon depending on the type of people you've associated with distracted by your doubts within yourself. Never underestimate the power of influence and associations and never underestimate the power of your own consistent self discipline. Now, let's take a closer look at discipline at the three steps to becoming disciplined first. True discipline is not the easiest option. Most people would rather sleep until 10:00 then get up at Speaker 2 six. Speaker 1 It's easier to go to bed. Late sleep, late, show up late, leave, early, it's easier, not to read it, easier to turn on the television and to open a book. It's easier to do just enough than to do it all waiting is always easier than acting. Trying is always easier than doing. Imagine what life would be like if we didn't have to make our bed in the morning or keep our garage clean or pay our taxes or show up for work tomorrow, wouldn't it be fascinating if we didn't have to do these things? Wouldn't it be fascinating? What do you suppose would become of us? You're right. Not much for whatever. The reason the system we live in and contribute to is designed to make the easiest things in life, the most unprofitable, Profitable seems to be the most difficult. Our world is and always will be a constant battle between the life of ease and it's momentary rewards and a life of discipline and it's far, more significant rewards. Each, has its own price, the price of discipline or the price of regret. The second lesson of discipline is that it's a full-time activity. And we've said that the best form of discipline is consistent self-discipline. You see the discipline that it takes to make your bed? Every day is the same discipline necessary for success in the world of business. The discipline to organize, your garage is the same discipline to organize your business. All disciplines carry through to affect all parts of our lives. If we're disciplined in just one area and lazy in another guess what? Pretty soon. The lazy side will creep in and destroy the discipline side. The bad habits in one area of our life, will eventually destroy our self discipline in the areas. We've been working on Consistency cannot be inconsistent. Discipline is the mind being trained to control. Our Speaker 2 Lives Speaker 1 discipline is a set of Standards which we've selected, as a personal code of conduct discipline is imposing on ourselves. A requirement for honoring these standards. Once we've adopted these standards of behavior and conduct we're committed to honor them and if we don't then there can be no. Oh, disciplined activity. Here's the third step to becoming consistently self-disciplined. Number one is realizing that discipline isn't the easiest option. Number two, discipline is a full-time activity day by day, every day and the third step to becoming self. Disciplined is really a philosophy that holds one of life's unique promises. Number three, simply says, for every disciplined effort, there is a multiple reward. That's one of life's great Arrangements. Life is full of laws that both govern and explain behaviors, but this may well be the major law. We need to understand for every disciplined effort, a multiple reward for every disciplined effort. A multiple reward. What a concept. If you render unique service, your reward will be multiplied if you're fair and honest. And patient with others, your reward will be multiplied. If you give more than you expect to receive your reward is more than you expect. But remember the key word here, as you might, well, imagine is discipline. Everything of value requires care and attention, everything of value requires discipline children, require discipline. They must have a structure built for them. They must have boundaries to work within. So they feel secure and comfortable to explore and grow. They must learn to recognize what's right? And what's wrong? What's acceptable behavior? What's not acceptable? Children require unwavering discipline consistent discipline or they'll be confused as to how they're supposed to behave. The most valuable form of discipline is the one that you impose on yourself, don't wait for things to deteriorate so drastically that someone else must impose discipline into your life. Wouldn't that be tragic? How could you possibly explain the fact that someone else thought more of you than you thought of yourself that they forced you to get up early and get out into the marketplace when you would have been content to let success go to someone else who cared more about themselves, your life, my life, the life of each one of us is going to serve as either a warning or an example. In the end, it is your own discipline that acts as the magic Catalyst to give substance and depth to your ambition to achieve your own plans and dreams to have what you want to have and to become what you want to become your consistent. Self discipline is the magic catalyst.
