As I involved myself in speaking and coaching, I start to see, hear and feel the pain from my audience or coaching clients. They feel frustrated and depressed, finding themselves can’t accomplish the goals that they set for themselves, or what they promise themselves to work on. I can feel the pain in them because I experienced before too.
So, after peeling off layer after layer of the onion to understand the core reason why this happens. We found the answer. Oh, I am sure you don’t like to hear this. You can avoid, you can pretend this doesn’t exist, you can do whatever you can to convince yourself that this is not true. It is still the truth that you must face. Is your self-discipline. That is the ultimate thing that can determine your success or failure. Self-discipline is the bridge between your goals and your accomplishments.
Oops. It’s painful. Even you just hear about self-discipline, you can feel the pain already. I know how you feel. Because I have experienced the pain, I know exactly how you feel.
However, you still have a choice—a choice between to accept the pain of self-discipline or the pain of regret. Along the journey of your life, there are so many things that you encounter from your health, family, workplace, your relationship, etc. You know precisely what you must do to keep yourself healthy, have a great relationship with those around you and your career growth. The question here is, are you commit yourself in doing all this?
If your health is your top priority now, which you must put it as your top priority now, ask yourself this question, will I regret in a 1 year, 3 years or 5 years from now, if I don’t eat a healthy diet or manage my stress every day? How am I going to look like or feel like in a year, 3 years or 10 years from now? Can I enjoy my life if I am on my sickbed? Can I spend a fantastic time with those I love?
Oops. Again is a pain point. The pain of regret if you don’t take action now. Choose one. If you choose to take the pain of regret, I wish you all the best. If you decide to take up the challenge of self-discipline, let me share with you how you can be the master of your self-discipline. Next episode, I will share with you the HOW.
