SELF-DISCIPLINE

I count him braver who conquers his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is the victory over self

Aristotle

The foundation of a house give it strength, it makes the house to stand stronger and longer. Self-discipline is the foundation that the house of your wealth stands on and which all the other principles of riches and wealth are built on.

Self-discipline is vital to becoming rich. Self-discipline means being able to have self-control in every aspect of life.

Many have various definitions of what riches and wealth is. Some say its happiness some say its financial success, some say it’s something else. But whatever anyone says, self-disciple is important.

As I said self-discipline is the foundation on which the other principles of riches and wealth stand. With self-discipline one cannot follow the principles of concentration which is the second principle of wealth, which is the ability to focus exclusively on a task till it is completed. Without 

Self-discipline one cannot overcome fears , fears that hold and restrain great achievements. With self-discipline one can work hard , work smart and gain wealth.

As George Washington said “Nothing is more harmful to the service than the neglect of discipline. For it is  discipline more than numbers that give one army superiority over another”.

In life two individuals or two families may live in the same street, the same building or they may even be next door neighbors. But this this two individuals or families can have two totally different financial status, one may struggle to make ends meet, while the other lives in financial prosperity. The difference between them is that one lacks self-discipline and the other has self-discipline. This self-discipline makes one person to be more financially superior to the other.

When self-discipline is applied in every area of life than great things are born.

Another important reason for self-discipline is because to achieve riches and wealth a measure of hard work is involved and as you know hard work involves pain and humans by nature run from pain and cling to pleasure. It requires self-discipline to bear the pain that brings riches and wealth. This pain is unavoidable.

THE PRICE OF BECOMING RICH

I have examined the life of everyone who has ever achieved success and what I found is that each had to pay the price to succeed. This price was the pain they had to feel while putting effort to achieve their dreams. This is a totally normal part of life; to get anything a price must be paid.

When you look in to the face of a woman giving birth, the agony is sometimes unbearable. But after the ordeal, the result is a beautiful baby is born, which the woman comes to love and cherish.

This is nature’s message to everyone, and the message is that there is no such thing as something for nothing.

Every time you on your light bulb remember Thomas Edison who had to endure 10,000 attempts of painful experiments to invent the bulb. Edison had self-discipline to achieve.
