Habits

Disciplined Life

Discipline? Essential, if you want to live a successful life. But what are the necessary disciplines? There are so many habits that if weaved into the tapestry of your daily life will yield optimum results. It is not an exhaustive list, but by adding them to your life on a regular basis, watch out for the transformation that will begin to take place as a result of the application of these disciplines.

Habit # 1 : Dare To Dream


There seem to be a lot of people in my circle of influence this year that are doing strange things. Some are tossing in their careers, while others are even leaving their homeland in pursuit of their dreams. They are daring to dream. They are daring to live the dream. I love being in the company of such people who are willing to break out of the status quo. Theyre my type of people.

Have a definite purpose backed by a burning desire for its fulfillment. Have a definite plan, expressed in continuous action. Have a mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances. Develop a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage you to follow through with both plan and purpose. - Napoleon Hill.

Habit # 2 : Grasp A Goal


Dreamers need to attach goals to their dreams, for they are the necessary building blocks required to construct a fulfilled dream. Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year, and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Any great wealth takes between 7 and 10 years to develop. So start with a ten year goal, and then work backwards from there.

Establish a clear reason why you want to achieve that significant goal, because that will keep you motivated and focused throughout the process of achieving that goal.

Habit # 3 : Pursue Your Passion


Thats where possibility is unveiled. Thats where potential is released. That is where the strong get stronger. That is where the joy becomes more joyous. This is where you work harder, smarter, and even longer at times because work has become attractive. Work has in fact been transformed into a labor of love.

It is a fulfilling and satisfying place to be. It is the arena where you love what you do and you do what you love.

Habit # 4 : Take Charge Of Your Time


Those who control their days and how their days are spent control the state of their future and their destiny. For if you can take charge of a minute you can certainly take charge of a lifetime. And if you do whats important first and foremost each and every day of your life, you will create a significant and influential life.

Spending time is like any investment. Wisely invested time leads to a wise life.

Habit # 5 : Live With Like-Minded Lovers


The company you keep on a regular basis is crucial to the success you achieve. They must be members of your cheer-leading team. They must love who you are and what you stand for. They are your supporters. They are to be dreamers and achievers in their own right who have your best interests at heart.

Kindness, truth, reliability and honesty are just four words to describe like-minded lovers.

Habit # 6 : Choose Wisdom


Wisdom is the ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight. In addition it is exemplified by the administration of both common sense and good judgment. Let your decisions be wise decisions. It is not always about choosing between right and wrong. It can often be about choosing between good and best.

As a believer I am in a blessed position when it comes to accessing wisdom, for there is a verse in the Bible that states that If any of you lack wisdom, ask. That means that whenever I am out of my depth I can gain access to a higher power !!!

Habit # 7 : Listen To Your Mentors


Mentors come in many forms, shapes, sizes and ages. None of us are an island, so make sure that you listen up when your mentors speak. Surround yourself with wise counselors whom you can draw inspiration and direction from.

Through wise counsel a way through our difficulties was unveiled which ultimately led to great success.

Habit # 8 : Never Take Love For Granted


I still date my wife regularly. We communicate with each other at the deepest of levels. We pray together. We listen to each other. We talk. We hold hands. We sit together in silence. We hug and embrace. We cry together. We plan. We dream. We love our children and their partners. We give. We share.

But one thing we have learnt to do throughout the years, and that is that we never take love for granted.

Habit # 9 : Resist Momentary Pleasure


Sex. Money. Power. All three can provide momentary pleasure. Life, to be strong and fulfilled, must be built upon stronger stuff. All three play an important part in life, but if all you do is pursue the momentary pleasures provided by these three, that have all at some time in history caused the downfall of great men and women, then you are riding along a slippery road.

Sex is designed and to be used within the confines of marriage. Money is designed as a tool to not only get, but is a mighty blessing to give. And power is best administered through servant leadership.

Habit # 10 : Use Common Sense


Follow your first impression. Your initial gut feeling about things will in most cases be correct. Trust yourself and be true to yourself, and if you wish to double check what you have decided to do, then run what you feel past one of your trusted mentors for clarification. Most decisions are not rocket science, and simply require the application of some good old fashioned common sense.

If it is your desire to live a life of integrity and to build good character, then use the power of common sense to guide your decision making process. However, if you do happen to make a mistake, then learn the lesson. Thats what life is all about learning.

In order to abstract as much as you can from each days opportunities, you must develop key disciplined habits on a day to day basis. No matter what upbringing you nave experienced, discipline is achievable for your life if you really want it. Reflect on yourself and cultivate these habits to make yourself a person, who has a disciplined life.

If you love learning, then you will love the discipline that goes with it.
