Self Discipline for Success:
Self discipline is directly related to self motivation. Many a time we make promises on following certain self-discipline to ourselves. But, rarely we adhere to them. The reason why it’s not getting followed weighs more on our commitment and motivation.
In order to be self disciplined we have to be self motivated. Let us see this example to understand it. A person who wants to be a cricketer often source inspiration from famous cricketers. I’m general, this model of taking inspiration from others doesn’t last long.
Otherwise, if a person wants to be a cricketer and source inspiration within oneself, the dream becomes real and achievable. Here, he limits the famous cricketers as a model and stops mimicking.
Hence, self discipline is best followed with self motivation. Stay motivated!
Focusing your aim towards success:
Focal — Focus. A bare minimum physics knowledge lets us to know that when light is emitted there is a focal point in every focus.
When you want to understand this broadly. Of you generally look through your eyes this means that you make 180 degree of your vision. In contrast, if you see a particular thing pointedly you become concentrated and you make only certain degree. Everyone can focus will not stay focused. But those who focus on the focal point will stay on focused.
Here are some of the best ways to focus;
- Always be concentrated on what you should do to help to focused
- Prioritising your day today work is must
- Cultivate and observe your interest level when you handle not -so -interested tasks.
- Identify your strong areas and they become your Focus areas.
- Get inspiration from others or by simple success you accomplish.
Fragment your major tasks and keep completing part by part. Thereby, you will always be motivated and focused your overall goal.
