Quote Of The Week

If you are looking to achieve success in life, there are many different factors that will come into play, which is why you will find many different methods and approaches. Most of the time, in situations like this, people are looking for a shortcut. Although completely understandable, there is one thing we cannot run away from. That is the fact that hard work is the foundation of any success. However, hard work itself is worthless if not focused.

Many start off working hard but begin neglecting consistency, patience, start going out every weekend, etc. If you have no plan, aimlessly work hard, and pray for success, it’s going to be very difficult. It takes more than just grunt work to get to new heights and achieve what you want. Generally, a plan is the best way to start, because having a strategy is always better than not having one.

More often than not, success doesn’t come by chance or luck. Overnight success is a complete rarity, that has turned into a goal for many, unfortunately. The truth is that success is the product of consistently and patiently working towards your dreams.

Discipline is what makes or breaks you while chasing your dreams. Having the discipline to wake up every morning and work on yourself is easy in the beginning when you are motivated. However, motivation goes away at some point. At that moment is where your habits and discipline kick in.

We all have days when we want to skip work, not work out, order junk food, not read/learn, take unnecessary naps, etc. Some of these things are not necessarily bad, but if they become a habit, they also become a problem.

Discipline works as insurance for your future. It takes these small sacrifices and uses them to fuel your future life. Through discipline, it will be that you create habits, which then create routines that make you who you are. It is not our wishful thoughts that will lead us to success, it is what we do.

Once you develop discipline, or if you already have it developed, you will notice how easy it becomes to not buy that expensive hat, burger, earplugs, etc. on impulse. You will also feel better because you now know you have full control over yourself and your life. This way, you will be building confidence, which will make everything easier. If you believe in what you are doing and who you are 100%, then achieving your dreams will be a child’s play.
