The Power of Discipline

We are part of a generation, which likes living each day on its own terms. We shy away from rules and aspire to live each moment to its fullest, without any restraint.

While this might not sound too bad, have you ever wondered why you didn’t get into the college that you wanted?

Or get that job you coveted the most?

Have you ever thought about why you find it difficult to sustain your relationships?

Have you always been puzzled as to why your results are never commensurate to the amount of effort that you put in?

The answer to these above questions could be the lack of discipline.

The reason why some of us fail to meet our targets, despite our best efforts, is because we lack the discipline to do that.

Again, as I said before, do not look at discipline as a negative element of your life.

Let me give you an example to prove how discipline is important for even following your passions!

Let’s assume that you are part of your school’s basketball team. You have an important tournament coming up in a month. Luckily, all your fellow players are in good form and are extremely talented.

Is this enough to get you that trophy? No

You must practice every day for a certain number of hours. You will have to practice your routine several times.

Even if your strategy for this game is the same and you have played your opponent several times in the past to understand their style, you still need to practice.

Why are you indulging in so much practice? To ensure that your body is in good form and to mentally prepare yourself for the game!

Isn’t this a form of disciplining your body and mind?

Out of passion for winning, all of you come together and engage in so much practice!

All of you may have different playing styles. But it is extremely important that your styles are aligned on the day of the game, to reap the maximum benefits.

It is the discipline that brings you together as a team. You will see in a while how discipline/self-discipline will help you achieve success!

Living with no regrets is a good thing.

But living, without worrying about consequences, is bad and detrimental to not just you but to the people around you as well.

Most of us don’t see how our actions impact others.

We fail to appreciate the importance of the things that we have. This is one important reason why this generation is pros at procrastination.

We would rather spend hours on Snapchat or Twitter or Instagram, instead of focusing on the work at hand.

You will be able to get away with this reckless attitude only while the consequences aren’t too severe.

But why wait until things get out of hand to do course corrections?

When you are disciplined, you will surely be cognizant of your actions and behaviours.

Now that I have spent quite some time talking about discipline, let’s see what it refers to.

So what is discipline?

Discipline is nothing but the practice of getting trained or conditioned to think or react in a certain way, within a certain framework of principles.

Sounds boring and daunting? Well, let us look at what self-discipline is all about.

You will probably realize that discipline is not about a life based on someone else’s rules. It’s about having your own set of rules and living your life based on that!
