For so many years of my life my self-discipline was terrible.
This lack of self-discipline kept me running around in
circles, procrastinating like a king, and always chasing the
‘latest greatest idea’.
Have you ever been ‘there’?
I’m glad I’m not ‘there’ anymore and I work daily on bringing
more self-discipline into my life.
Here’s the question.
Whenever you read a great success story, from Tiger Woods,
Oprah, Spielberg, Frank McKinney, to famous generals and
more, you always here ‘this’ mentioned.
“They brought great discipline to their work.”
What do the most successful people in the world ‘have’ that
allow them to bring more discipline into their lives than
the rest of the population?
There might be 10 answers. Probably more.
I’m going to focus today on what I believe is the MOST
IMPORTANT in order to bring more self-discipline into your
life.
If you look at the globe, you see many things.
You see millions of people unhappy with their careers, you
see millions of people looking for meaning in their lives,
and you see millions of people that have accepted the status
quo in their lives.
If that’s the choice people make, great, I know you’re
looking for more in your life though.
How do we make self-discipline much easier for ourselves?
How do we improve our discipline 1% each day?
What do the ‘greats’ do that other’s don’t?
The mass of people lead visionless lives.
Read this again.
The mass of people lead visionless lives.
I did as well for a long time. A long time.
Remember, what was written thousands of years ago.
“Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
The word ‘perish’ in the past was translated to ‘throw off
constraints.”
“Mike, what does that exactly mean?”
In means that when we don’t have a VISION for our lives, we
throw off self-discipline, self-control, and order. (I’d read
this 2x)
You see, without a VISION we replay the limitations and
negative recurring patterns of our past.
Without using our IMAGINATION to build the better you, we use
the lack in our past to keep us on a fear driven merry go
round.
No fun. Not at all.
You, I, us, WE must do the inner work.
I don’t care what your inner critic has to say. You were
BORN with unique gifts, purposes, and talents.
You were born to lead.
You were born to fulfill a GREAT VISION.
Maybe it’s being a great parent, a great business person, or
great entertainer. It doesn’t matter.
Build the vision for your life. It doesn’t have to be
perfect. Let it develop. Cultivate it.
Build it. Hold it. Pursue it.
The greatest gift in pursuing your vision, is WHO you become
in the process. (money is important, though in itself it will
never give you meaning.)
Be the master artist in your life. Create a living, breathing
masterpiece called your life.
Start with a bright, clear vision. Watch discipline and order
enter your life in a greater way.
I believe in -you-. The thousands of other people reading
this right now BELIEVE IN YOU.
(Group high five)
Your greatest days are ahead of you and can’t wait to see you
too.
Build your vision 1% today.
Love Ya! You’re The Best!
Your Coach,
Michael

BE BLESSED BY THE DIVINE

thanks for validating the message I had today. You are an inspiring coach! Looking forward to a more prosperous new year! self-discipline and action taking place!
This one hit the target point blank. It’s funny though since I decided this year its all about being positive and emitting positive vibes. I need to take control
Thanks Mike!!
Thanks a lot Mike
This is really awesome.
May I ask for your consent to forward this to friends and loved ones?
I do not want to be a dead sea.
Hi Mike
I just read ‘why self discipline is tough’and that was really a home brainer for me….and reading your testimonies reminded me of myself..thanks for the enlightenment and i will be looking forward to reading your mails every day…very inspiritional
I have adopted the principal of diong something each day to improve myself 1%, its a small step but has had great impact. I also like the idea of only visiting my email inbox one time during the day, it has freed up so much of my time its incredible!
Thank you Mike. I needed your discipline suggestions/reminders to assist me with the discipline I sometimes lack. Keep up the great work you are doing and have an awesome day Mike!
I really needed this today! you are a great coach! We all need to be more positive ! Thanks you are Great!! Trish
Thanks for your words of wisdom!
Procrastination cna really destroy a persons self worth!
There are so many people in this rut,and its through words of wisdom from the Bible and you that we can over come this “monster”!
Mike,
Just got done reading another piece on working TOWARDS something instead of working to GET AWAY from something. So, I have to set a GOAL. To have a goal, I have to start imagining, and envisioning. Got it…thanks for the reinforcement.
This post is very important. I am going to put is in priority, to read it often. Sometimes we don’t realize how we can impact others.
It is so true!
Peace, Success, Happiness
You have hit the mark for me with Self Discipline! This is an excellent read and so worthy of putting into focus and daily action…..Thank you Mike for all your inspirations….very best wishes for 2008.
I just read a great book titled “The Now Habit” which discusses procrastination and work-alcoholics. Being a great procrastonator, this book helped me put some things in place to feel like I have gotten something accomplished. Check it out. I receive nothing from this–just recommending something that helped me.
Thanks mike, my beloved coach for the great inspirations given to me.
Regards
Asit Joshi
Thanks. I need to hear this many, many times. I need to be reminded. It needs to be reinforced in my mind. Thanks.
Thank you Mike,
your daily messages are really a coaching device all by itself.
You don’t teach rocketscience – you teach down-to-earth truth and you continuously push us to implement and use it – what it is all about!
Keep doing your job,
all the best

At 19 – my life has been put into completely different paths – vision, self-discipline, PMA, all that is mine. Self-development is the biggest thing there can ever be.
I Agree with Sheri

Thank you Mike for your encouragement. You teach sound wisdom – by implementing your teaching my journey is guaranteed to be a success.
Blessings,

I needed this today at well. I have a lot of responsibilities and people relying on me, and realize that my discipline needs to get rock hard. As alwyays, thank your Mike.
Hey Mike, I have been reading almost all of your mails and they all carry important messages. You have kept me motivated and have actually spurred me on to do something meaningful with my life. Thanks a million.

Thanks Mike this is so relevant for me. At the weekend I started a detox plan. My motivation was partly to do the inner cleanse ‘thing’ but most of all the biggest motivating force has been the reason to build my business [I'm an independent distributor for products which include this detox plan].
What I also realised was, though, that what I really need and have wanted for a while is to step up with my self discipline – my body, mind, and soul have just got fed-up with the instant gratification thing!
How to be more disciplined? well, I would suggest firstly desire to be, and hold that intention. Get the diary out and make appointments with self to do one task each day that has been put off or one task each day towards a new project [setting up a business is always good in my book!] Then take that action and notice how good you feel at the end of the week. A fantastic book for building self-discipline is:
“The Motivated Mind” by Michael Jason Gracia
cheers!

Mike thanks
This is a great way to start the New Year.
They that strive after the championship are disciplined in all things. Thank you Mike for your encouragement. I exhort you today to stay the course.
