‘I've come to embrace the notion that I haven't done enough in my life. I've come to confirm that one's title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one's life has been led. No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.’

Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009

‘If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all’.

Anna Quindlen (1953 - ) Won Pulitzer Prize for commentary, 1992.

Success therefore is the progressive

attainment of God given goals.

• Text: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (King James Version)

• 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

• 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.

• 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

• 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

‘Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude’. ~ Thomas Jefferson


16

Determination provides us with a strong force which helps us in conquering our goals.

Many talents fail in this world because they do not have strong determination required for success.

It is very difficult in this world to succeed if we do not have determination.

How to increase your determination;

Have a vision, an ambition. Monastic commitment to study to learn,

to accumulate knowledge and to apply your knowledge;

Be resolute in spirit and action to complete successfully that which you have begun;

Consecrate your time and energy in the firmness of your purpose;


18

Accept as a natural part of his process the nature of temporary hardships and difficulties and the transitory nature of barriers and hindrances;

Accept proudly the nature of your births and your circumstances and never to use your heritage as an excuse, a prop, an inferior status or failure;

Be resolute in foregoing the immediate or short-term satisfaction, pleasure and comfort for the more distant but enormously more valuable gains.

2 Timothy 2:3-5 Discipline is the ability to control one's

impulses, emotions, desires and behaviour. It is being able to turn down immediate pleasure and instant gratification in favour of gaining the long-term satisfaction and fulfilment from achieving higher and more meaningful goals.

It means having the ability to do the right things necessary to achieve your purpose.

3.Discipline


20

Certainly, being disciplined does not mean living a limiting or a restrictive lifestyle. Nor, does it mean giving up everything you enjoy, or, to relinquish fun and relaxation.

It does mean learning how to focus your mind and energies on your goals and persevere until they are accomplished.

Self-discipline allows you to reach your goals in a reasonable time frame and to live a more orderly and satisfying life.


21

• Start with baby steps. take it one step at a time in building self-discipline. So, begin by making the decision to go forward and learning what it takes to get there.

• Learn what motivates you and what your bad triggers are. Discipline is setting up the perfect environment to achieve the goals you have.

• Make certain behaviours a routine. Once you have decided what's important to you and which goals to strive for, establish a daily routine that will help you achieve them.

How To Develop Self-Discipline


22

• Likewise, get rid of some of your bad, self-defeating habits, whatever they may be.

• Practice self-denial. Learn to say no to some of your feelings, impulses and urges. Train yourself to do what you know to be right, even if you don't feel like doing it.

• Get inspiration from those you admire.• Visualize the rewards. Project yourself in

the future. Visualize your desired outcome. Feel how rewarding it is and the countless benefits you will enjoy.


23

Engage in sports or activities. Sports train you to set goals, focus your mental and emotional energies, become physically fit, and to get along well with others.

Learning to play a musical instrument can be another great way to practice self-discipline. The focus, repetition, and application required in learning to play an instrument is invaluable.


24
