When will I be Disciplined?

 I am firm believer, to be successful one needs to be disciplined.

Rating myself, if I am disciplined or not? Based on success achieved till now, then I am not, probably because not satisfied with my achievement and comparing others in similar age group who are in a better position.

In today’s e-world where there is an opportunity for everyone to excel, if I compare with those who are not better in position then I am disciplined.  To be honest I think this approach is like defending ourselves in work appraisal to get promotion and salary hike. Let me conclude that I am not disciplined as per bench mark of success set by me.

So next question, am I not successful at all, not really there are areas I have tasted success, how did I achieve it?  Perhaps have been disciplined inconsistently.  Why is that I can’t be disciplined consistently?

Let me go back to the basic question, what is discipline? Wikipedia has explained discipline in many ways but I would follow this. “Discipline is a course of actions leading to certain goal or ideal. A disciplined person is one that has established a goal and is willing to achieve that goal at the expense of his or her individuality” The take away is setting a goal, activities towards that in focused way.

Being in sales profession achieving target is the fundamental goal and there are activities towards achieving this goal and you go all out to get this.  There are times where you don’t hit the target, apart from certain factors not in your hand, it is lack of discipline, as we lose momentum and get demotivated when things don’t happen the way we want.

In other walks of life whether it is academics, health, or interpersonal relationship when we get feeling that in spite of giving best, things are not coming as per our anticipation, we lose our discipline and stop trying differently to get to the goal.

Have set a goal of establishing myself as good writer and started a blog, couple of articles have been put on my blog but did not disciplined myself and this is one more effort towards it, will I be disciplined to get my goal?
