Striving for Discipline
I am very good in a crisis. The very difficult things come, and I kick into action. I generally find it easy to deal with tough situations. It’s afterwards that my knees turn to jelly.
But day to day life, I find harder. It’s hard to do things on a regular basis, especially things that are mundane or repetitive. (I suppose that may be true for most people.) But, even so, I am trying.
My most recent focus is on finding the discipline to work on the things, daily, that could get me where I want to be in the future. But, finding the discipline to do that is not innate to me.
So I am trying to 'begin as you mean to continue'. I’ve set myself an assignment of working an hour a day on moving toward my goals, with practical tasks that can help me achieve them. Here’s where it begins.
In my mind, discipline is doing what you have to, or need to, even when you don’t want to. So here’s my commitment to my own discipline – beginning my daily routine.
I’ll let you know how it turns out. ;-)
