This is the Seventh of the “7 Key steps” and you will be on your way!
7 Controlling what needs to be done

Self-discipline should be considered as a type of selective training; it’s creating new habits of thought, action and of course speech, this naturally will help toward improving you and also reaching your visions, desires and goals.

Self-discipline as pointed out earlier can be task oriented and is very selective, it is one of the last steps that we take bringing together all that we have learned and more importantly put into practice. You should view self-discipline as a very positive effort, rather than one of denial. This will be a trait that for most of us will have to be developed. It is something we all need because it is a vital characteristic of entrepreneurial and successful people. Why? Basically, nothing easy appears as it seems, there will always be unforeseen problems and challenges in the direction and path we have chosen and the visions and goals we are after achieving.

To keep on beating set-backs we must persevere and be strong. One of my recent “Thought for the Days” stated quite well; “Set your goals high, and don’t stop trying till you get there.” If you have any sort problem you must persevere and be strong, excessive habits foster very low-esteem and result in a lack of confidence. If you do suffer from any obsessions and find difficulty in controlling yourself you may blame or punish yourself. The reverse can also be true low self-esteem will cause some of the problems; this of course is the vicious circle.

This is where Self-discipline helps you to control your actions and will help you to stay on track. If you do suffer any of the above, you need to break away and start to cure yourself. You should make use of helpful friends, colleagues or you may seek the help a professional councillor, all you are asking for is someone to listen to you and support you in your efforts; “I have friends in my Church so I draw comfort from them, that especially was when I my heart attack in 2004 and by-pass operation and again when in 2007 I was diagnosed Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia”.

Trying to go it alone is very difficult. Have faith that you will reach whatever you seek, when you believe in and trust in yourself and have sufficient desire, self-discipline comes easily.

Thank you very much for reading these “7 Steps to taking control of your life”, as you have now probably gathered I am a person who can truthfully say, that I have been there and worn the tee-shirt and now am in a position to help other people.

Thank you and God bless you.
