Como Ter DISCIPLINA [Mude Sua Vida] · Postura de Homem

[Music] of all the subjects we've covered so far and are about to cover none is more important than covering the disciplines for success what's at the core of achieving the good life the major key to the good life the major key is not in learning how to set goals it is not in learning how to better manage your time it is not in mastering the attributes of leadership every day in a thousand different ways we are trying to improve ourselves by learning how to do things we spend a lifetime gathering knowledge in classrooms in textbooks

and experiences now if knowledge is power if knowledge is the forerunner to success then why do we fall short of our objectives why in spite of all our knowledge and in spite of our collective experiences do we find ourselves aimlessly wandering settling for a life of existence rather than a life of substance there may be many answers to this question your answers may be different than your associates or your spouse's or your friends while there may be many answers to this question the fundamental answer is the absence of discipline applying all that we know that's

the key word discipline self-discipline we might add one more word here consistent consistent self-discipline it doesn't really matter how smart you are or how much you know if you don't use it it doesn't really matter that you graduated magna laude if you're stuck in a low-paying job it doesn't really matter if you attended every seminar that comes to town if you don't apply what you've learned better than knowledge is applied knowledge and once we've applied our knowledge we must study the results of that process apply our knowledge study the results refine our approach finally by

trying and observing and refining and trying again our knowledge will inevitably produce worthy results admirable results and with the joy and results of our efforts we continue to apply to learn to observe to fuel our ambition with the positive reinforcement of continued progress pretty soon we'll find that we're swept into a spiral of achievement a vertical rise to success and the ecstasy of that total experience makes for a life of triumph over tragedy dullness and mediocrity but for this whole process to work for us we must first master the art of discipline self-discipline consistent self-discipline

it takes consistent self-discipline to master the art of setting goals to master the art of time management to master the art of leadership to master the art of parenting and relationships if we don't make consistent self-discipline part of our daily lives the results we seek will be sporadic and elusive it takes a consistent effort to truly manage our valuable time it takes discipline to conquer the nagging voices in our minds the fear of failure the fear of success the fear of poverty the fear of a broken heart it takes discipline to keep trying when that

nagging voice within us brings up the possibility of failure it takes discipline to admit our errors and recognize our limitations it takes discipline to change a habit because habits are formed a little bit each day every day every day it takes discipline to plan it takes discipline to execute our plan and it takes discipline to change either our plan or our method of executing that plan if the results are poor it takes discipline to be firm when the world throws opinions at our feet it takes discipline to ponder the value of someone else's opinion when

our pride and our arrogance leads us to believe that we are the only ones with the answers discipline is an awareness of the constant need for action and a conscious act to implement that action if our awareness and our implementations occur at the same time then we begin a valued sequence of disciplined activity now here's the other side of discipline if there's considerable time that passes between the moment of awareness and the time of our implementation then that is called procrastination doing it tomorrow instead of today procrastination and almost exact opposite of discipline the voice

within us says get it done discipline then says do it now do it to the best of your ability today tomorrow and always until finally the worthy deed becomes instinctive procrastination says later tomorrow whenever i get a chance procrastination also says do what is necessary to get by or to impress others do what you can but not what you must in every circumstance we face we are constantly presented with these two choices do it now or do it later discipline and procrastination a choice between a disciplined existence bearing the fruit of achievement and contentment or

procrastination the easy life for which the future will bear no fruit only the bare branches of mediocrity the rewards of a disciplined life are great but they're often delayed until sometime in the future the rewards for the lack of discipline are immediate but they are minor in comparison to the immeasurable rewards of consistent self-discipline an immediate reward for lack of discipline is a fun day at the beach a future reward of discipline is owning the beach for most we choose today's pleasure rather than tomorrow's fortune so how can you get rid of the easy distractions

how can you keep your mind on what you're trying to do how can you keep an attitude of doing it all and doing it now how can you make the choice of discipline over procrastination how can you stay focused on your ambitions you can keep your focus on your work you can get it done today instead of tomorrow you've got to really work on your consistent self-discipline on a daily basis or you'll find yourself distracted distracted by negative thoughts distracted by negative people distracted by your doubts within yourself now let's take a closer look at

discipline true discipline is not the easiest option most people would rather sleep until ten o'clock than get up at six it's easier to go to bed late sleep late show up late leave early it's easier not to read it's easier to turn on the television than to open a book it's easier to do just enough than to do it all waiting is always easier than acting trying is always easier than doing imagine what life would be like if we didn't have to make our bed in the morning or keep our garage clean or pay our

taxes or show up for work tomorrow wouldn't it be fascinating if we didn't have to do these things wouldn't it be fascinating what do you suppose would become of us you're right not much for whatever the reason the system we live in and contribute to is designed to make the easiest things in life the most unprofitable our world is and always will be a constant battle between the life of ease and its momentary rewards and a life of discipline and it's far more significant rewards each has its own price the price of discipline or the

price of regret choose one or the other but both will have their price the price of discipline or the price of regret one costs pennies the other a fortune dostoyevsky said there are hundreds of young men who would die for the truth but very few who would spend five years studying to know what the truth is you
