Self discipline

In reading the lives of great men, I have found that the first victory they won was over themselves….

Self-discipline with all of them came first. ” That is true not just of great achievers, but also of effective leaders.

Good leaders practice self-control before they try to engage others.

Self-discipline comes before leadership success. It is the price tag of leadership.

As leaders, our greatest challenge in leadership is leading ourselves first.

We can’t expect to take others further than we have gone ourselves.

We must travel within before we can travel without. Many highly gifted leaders have stopped far short/ of their potential because they were not willing to pay this price.

They tried to take the fast track to leadership only to find that shortcuts never pay off in the long run.

SELF-DISCIPLINE MAKES LEADERSHIP’S UPHILL CLIMB POSSIBLE.

There is truth you need to recognise, not just for leadership, but for everything in life.

For the last year or so I have been teaching it extensively to people wherever I go. Ready ? Here it is. Everything worthwhile is uphill.

SELF-DISCIPLINE ENABLES YOU TO GO UPHILL.

If I were to ask you, “Do you want to improve your life?” of course your answer would be yes. The question isn’t if you want it to happen. The question is how do you make it happen?

The answer is by living each day with intentionality. That requires becoming self-disciplined.

Self-discipline moves you from good intentions, to good actions.

It is what separates words and ideas from actual results.

One of the greatest gaps in life is between sounding good and doing good.

We are ultimately measured by what we do and how our actions shape the world around us.

Without results, all the best intentions in the world are just a way of at best entertaining ourselves, at worst deluding ourselves.

Self-discipline paves the road to results.
