THE POWER OF SELF-DISCIPLINE II

“Everyone must choose one of two pains: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”
~ Jim Rohn.

It is much easier to control a city than to control oneself. We identify too soon the weakness and faults of others and are often blinded to our own. We set high standard for other, but could not do anything for ourselves because we lack self discipline and have not gain mastery over ourselves. We say like Paul of old, “the things that I do not want to do I found myself doing and that which I need to do, I do not” until you gain mastery over your life you cannot achieve anything of note in life. You need to learn to master and control your emotions, appetites and inclinations, because only then can success be made possible.

Our world today is so full of distractions; it will only take a disciplined mind to achieve anything worth while. There are several new captivating games, more interesting videos, season films, hang out and nice joints, free sex, lustful materials everywhere, so many social media platforms, mind blowing television programs, ‘just for fun’ events here and there and host of others, seriously working very hard to make it difficult for us to maximize our potentials. So the fact remains that you can never be at your best until you develop the capacity to delay gratification.

One of the most essential keys to a tomorrow void of regret is living a life of self-discipline today. See, some of the pressure that is been mounted upon our life today are as a result of some pleasure we could not deny ourselves of yesterday; and the history will repeat itself if we choose not to do otherwise. My golden advices for you are:
• Love not long sleeps; too much sleep does not only make neck pain you but also makes you poorer. Be disciplined!
• Run from premarital and extramarital sex; they gratify the body but are deadly poison to the soul. Be disciplined!
• Avoid over eating; too much food don’t just cause constipation, it makes you lazy and of less useful to yourself. Be disciplined!
• Save a portion (at least one tenth) of your income/earning; you don’t get rich by just earning more but by saving more. Never spend it all. Be disciplined!
• Watch less of television and movies; those who make news don’t watch news. Be disciplined!
• Never waste time; time wasted is a life wasted. To be at your best you need to use your time well. Be discipline!
• Be careful what you expose your eye to; people most often do what they see. Be discipline!
• Spend quality time in prayer; those who don’t pray are always the prey of the wicked. Be disciplined!
• Spend quality time to read daily; you will never be better that your level of knowledge will allowed. Be disciplined!
• Do regular exercise; it is one of the fundamentals of healthy living. Be disciplined!
• Never beat a woman; it makes you less human. Be disciplined!
