DISCIPLINE IS THE
BEDROCK FOR BUILDING SUCCESS
TrillionaireThoughts
Discipline will enable you commit to particular
goals, principles, values and actions. For a person to achieve discipline it is
important that you develop the ability to understand and stay conscious of your
thoughts for they become words, as well as your words for they become actions,
also watch your actions for they become habits and finally watch your habits
for they become your character.
Wikipedia describes Discipline as the suppression of
base desires, and is usually understood to be synonymous with restraint and
self-control. Self-discipline is
to some extent a substitute for motivation.
This is the control that is
gained by requiring that rules or orders be obeyed and in summary it is a way
of behaving that shows a willingness to obey rules. For a person to achieve the greatest height of
success in life, he/she needs to be disciplined and above all cultivate the art
of self-discipline and control.
In
our contemporary society today, it is noticed that most of the issues and
problems facing our society stems from indiscipline and lack of self-discipline
and control. Wikipedia also describes Self-control
as the ability to control one's emotions and behavior in the
face of temptations and impulses. As an executive function, self-control is a cognitive process that is
necessary for regulating one's behavior in order to achieve goals.
Imagine a society where people have developed
self-discipline and control, how successful, well organized and managed will
that society be? It will be a society of peace, good governance and prosperity
for all. In whatever a person desires and engages in, discipline plays a major
role in determining the outcome be it positive or negative. For a person to
explore their potentials either as an individual, community, state, region,
country and continent they all have to be disciplined to achieve the best.
Corruption, lack of social amenities, poverty,
owing workers salary, drug addiction, cultism, prostitution, exam malpractice,
just to mention a few are all as a result of lack of discipline.
To achieve a better life as an individual and
also a better society, economy as a country, I think the first step to take is
to adapt the culture of discipline, because where there is discipline, less laws are broken and people can co-habit in the
most remarkable and honourable manner because discipline also leads to respect for
rules, laws, emotions and even one another’s actions because people will tend
to act in accordance to what is right. People will strive for the best and
success without violating the rights of others. Discipline is not to be forced
upon a person but it should be willingly developed for it to be able to sustain
and test the hand of time.
Discipline also builds confidence in a person
and a society, this is because when people are disciplined they tend to believe
more in their capabilities and this has direct effect in motivating a person
towards any goal and aim.
