I would like to talk about self-discipline here when it comes to sowing a character. Many of you do not feel the necessity to be self-disciplined, but if you do not sow a habit of it, it becomes difficult to reach your destiny. Many a times you may feel that the other person is so careless or not behaving well, but have you ever realized that if you do not like that, there would be someone wouldn’t like the same in you. Criticizing is easy than adapting it yourself.
We have been taught since childhood, from school to be self-disciplined, but have we ever thought of following it throughout our life? We are taught about the same at home too by our parents but there is difference which many parents too do not understand and think that my child is very disciplined. They are ready to hype about it in the society but are unaware of the actual truth that what parents teach is to become well-mannered and not well disciplined. They teach you manners as you have to get connected to the outside world, where as no one teaches you discipline which are related to your own self. Let’s talk about how to drill your inner orderliness instead of being disorganized.
Starting from childhood, we should be taught of self- control with being well-mannered. You being parents must have thought that what the need is when we haven’t ever learned but you can see the results today and think of not repeating with your kids. Teaching your children about self-discipline is to take responsibilities of their actions and that is very important, you can do this only if you are strong enough to stand for your actions. Do not worry as and when you read ahead you will realize that it is good to sow an act to reap a habit. You are supposed to act in a certain way in life to keep a control in your emotions and act towards your goal. If you let others decide what you are supposed to do then you are building obedience and not self-discipline. That is why we say what an obedient child isn’t it? Many people do not hesitant of doing what they feel like doing but the challenge is to do what you are supposed to do when you do not feel like doing it. Let’s say for example, you had late night and feel lazy to wake and hit the gym so the first thought would be Ahhhh it is okay to skip a day. Here comes your self-control, no matter how late you sleep, does not mean you skip your fitness routine and think of not eating a day to compensate. To have a firm mind is difficult but important. Once you set a goal for certain thing it is important to work on it no matter what circumstances you come across. You do not need permission or approval of someone for any act you do unless your ‘Why’ is valid and clear. When you are disciplined, the only things you sacrifice are the things which are least important to you at that moment in order to complete the task.
Self-discipline is controlling your life in a good way. It is about committing to what you want. Do not fall into a trap of making excuses to you and run away from the task. Self-control can help people to deal with their own anxiety. It decreases depression as you know how to act and reciprocate with your emotions. Things change in life and so do people but certain things which are in your hand cannot slip out without your permission. It increases physical health, you tend to think positive and it is pretty obvious that it will keep you away from any kind of addiction. Psychology says, the capacity of self-control leaves a great impact on relationships too. It leads you towards adopting more constructive behaviors than defensive reactions. If you are a resilient person it becomes easy for you to manage life’s challenges and situations effectively than throwing up impulsive reactions.
Self discipline is to be practiced every day, to get your mind and soul together in control and let all the negative thoughts outside of you. You would feel happier than before. Staying productive can make you creative and occupied. Sense of well-being is what you achieve in the end. The most important thing in building self-discipline is to take care of yourself, know what you want and accept failures. Forgive yourself, do not moan about what wrong has happened and focus on what next can you do to repair the loss. It is an act of trying, failing and trying all over again. Self-disciplined people never have all rosy days. Everything comes with struggle but a right attitude, self-control, and self- acceptance is all what it takes towards the success. Do not neglect the people who help you with your journey, do not let them feel lower than you. Everyone you meet in your way to success has a story added to make it more worthwhile. Appreciate when time comes. Respect yourself and everyone around you, it leads to self-discipline and when you have both under your belt that’s real power.
PS: The road of self- discipline may be hard but the results are priceless.
