DISCIPLINE- A KEY FACTOR IN ATTAINING YOUR VISION.

Hey there, trust your week has been fruitful?

We started a series last week and it has been mind blowing. Do well to check them out in case you missed any...

But if you didn't, kindly join me as we feast on today's topic.

When you hear the word discipline, what comes to mind??

The English dictionary describes being disciplined as having a level of self control and controlled behavior.

One who has a great vision ahead would definitely need to set up some rules/value systems that'll guide him till he gets to his destination.

For those who play adventurous games on their phones; when the game is about to start, you're usually given a breakdown of how the whole event should turn out and you're also given a target. But that's not all, there are usually rules and tips that you'll be given and failure to abide to such would lead to you loosing out in the game.

This same principle applies so much in every area of life, for those who have discovered their purposes though.

A fat man who wishes to get to the top of a mountain would definitely have to cut down some weights and go through some training in order to aid his flexibility. 

I'm sure by now you must have a big picture that reflects where you're headed,  written down your goals, and set up some plans that'll help actualize them. 

However it's very important for us to note that, somewhere along the line, there's usually this high tendency for complacency, distractions and laziness to set in. What keeps you going steadily at this point is your ability to discipline yourself and set your head straight.

Show me a disciplined man and I’ll show you a man who is conscious of the attainment of his vision . Situations will arise in your life where you will be faced with tempting situations (Whoever told you that the road is always smooth didn’t tell you the exact rruth). The farther you go in the journey of fulfilling your vision, the more temptations that will surface. During these times, discipline will help you sieve your thoughts so as to make the best decision .

Don’t be deceived ! The mere fact that your visions is clearly stated and visible to all doesn’t mean you will fulfill it . If you take the place of Discipline for granted , that promising height might just be a mirage or a fiction. 

In this series, I'll be laying emphasis on key areas in which you must learn to discipline yourself: the management of your time, the company of friends you keep and your daily habits. 

Too many of us wish we had more time, yet we waste the time we have.

You never go farther in all spheres of life than the five closest people to you.

The state of your life right now is a clear reflection of your daily habits.

In my next write up, I'll be talking widely on the three points stated above.

Don't forget, those dreams and visions are very much attainable if you'll be willing to make the sacrifice.

With love from your friend, Maggy.
