Self-Discipline
The most important habit you can develop for success, achievement and happiness is the habit of
self-discipline. Perhaps the best definition of self-discipline comes from Elbert Hubbard, “Self-discipline
is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like
it or not.”
The habit of self-discipline is closely tied to the Law of Control that says, “You feel happy about yourself
to the degree to which you feel you are in control of your own life.”
Self-discipline is the key to self-mastery and self-control. The more capable you become of disciplining
yourself to do what you have decided to do, whether you feel like it or not, the more positive
and powerful you will feel.
There is a direct relationship between self-discipline and self-esteem. The more you discipline yourself
to behave in the manner that you have decided, the more you like and respect yourself. The more positive
and confident you will feel. The stronger and more in charge of your life and situation you become.
This is why the happiest, most successful and most respected men and women in our society are all
men and women of great self-control, self-mastery and self-discipline.

Learn to Live in the Present Moment

To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment.

Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are - always!

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things - all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, "Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans." When we're busy making "other plans." our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future - we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.

To combat fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, "I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened." I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay great dividends.

On Enslavement to Self

Before complaining that you are a slave to another, be sure that you are not a slave to self. Look within; you will find there, perchance, slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be a slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you.
—James Allen

It&`&s easy to delegate the responsibility for our lives and choices to other people.
It’s not your fault that you can’t stick to a diet — it’s because your friends constantly tempt you to grab something to eat with them.
It’s not your fault that you can’t control your finances — it’s those evil corporations that spend millions on advertising and leave you powerless to change.
It’s not that you lack willpower to exercise — people always want something from you and you never have the time to develop this healthy habit.
In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. While external circumstances can affect you, in the end, whether or not they control your life depends on you. Just like James Allen said, when you achieve self-mastery, no one (and no thing) will have the power to enslave you.
The next time you blame an external factor for your lack of self-discipline, think again. Was it the person eating chocolate next to you who controlled what you put in your mouth, or was it you?
