An analysis of discipline as a component of the character of successful people is the subject of a column by Luz Mary Salamis in Prensa.com.
Luz Maria says:
"We admire people who have achieved success and think about their social lives, in their recognition, but are we really aware of the effort they have made in order to get there? If we read about our heroes, we see that many of their achievements are the result of constant and ordered effort. "
"Sometimes we rely too much on passion we do not develop the fundamental habit of consistency. The creation of habits and sustaining them over time is one of the hardest things we face. Going to the gym, maintaining a healthy diet and meditating daily, are examples. "
"Suppose you go to the gym three times a week and you've done it consistently for a long time. List all the positive outcomes that result from having gone to the gym. For example," since starting at the gym two years ago, I have more energy, I like developing my body, I have time to do more things, I have more friends "... Now, for every one of these things that you identified, also write the positive results from them ... for example," When I have more energy, I resolve problems faster, I feel happier, I enjoy my kids "... and so on with every one."
"What you see? Positive emotions, positive results, all multiplied dramatically. Is it the same if you were to the gym only once a month?"
"It is the same with other activities that may not associate so clearly with habits and discipline, but which may be the key to success in achieving the goals we set. Things as simple as keeping your house in order, your office, your checkbook, can have a major impact on speed and the ability to get the things that you set out to. Why not you do the test and start today? "
